What's wrong?
The high voltage battery pack in a 2022-2023 Jeep Wrangler Plug-In Hybrid Electric vehicle stores the electricity that helps drive the hybrid propulsion system. Inside that pack, a 200 amp fuse protects the battery circuit by interrupting current when the circuit is overloaded. The fuse has to be held tightly in place so current flows through the intended contact points.
On affected Wranglers, the 200 amp fuse was secured with incorrect fasteners during production. A loose or wrong fastener creates poor contact at the fuse connection. That resistance turns electrical current into excessive heat at the battery pack assembly, which can damage the fuse and affect how the hybrid system operates.
Owners can see a Malfunction Indicator Lamp on the dash, notice a change in drivability, or hear noise from the high voltage battery pack area. Those signs mean the fuse connection needs dealer attention.
Who's affected?
Both model years list the same high-voltage traction battery component.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific SUV.
What's the safety risk?
Excessive heat can make the HV battery fuse fail, causing a loss of drive power and increasing the risk of a crash. Treat a Malfunction Indicator Lamp, drivability change, or noise near the HV battery pack as a reason to schedule service soon. Repair is free at any franchised Jeep dealer.
