Chrysler -mother company Stellantis recalls more than 91,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Hybrids in the US due to a software error that can lead to a loss of Drive Power, said the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Thursday.
Some Jeep Grand Cherokee-in-in-hybrid electric vehicles, model years 2022 to 2026, can have an overload of the microprocessor of the battery control module, which is reset. When this happens, the hybrid control processor can incorrectly interpreting the control module of the battery – possibly resulting in a loss of drive power, the NHTSA noted.
“An unexpected loss of propulsion can cause a vehicle accident without prior warning,” the NHTSA noted.
Of the 91,787 possibly affected vehicles, it is assumed that only 1%, or about 918 of them, have the defect, according to the NHTSA website.
