Jeep Wrangler 4XE PHEV: Loss of drive due to faulty HV battery fuse

29/03/2023

Jeep is recalling 19,366 Wrangler 4XE PHEV vehicles worldwide back to the workshop. The reason for the measure is a faulty attachment of the fuse on the HV battery, which can lead to failure and, thus, to the loss of the powertrain.

In the workshop, the fixings are checked and replaced if necessary. Depending on the result, the HV battery will then also be replaced. The KBA monitors the recall with the reference number “012497“, and the internal code is Z71.
