Stellantis North America is in the spotlight over massive recalls fueling safety concerns: 320k Jeep plug-in hybrids, potential fire risk. Former Chrysler lineage, now Stellantis’ U.S. arm.
Stellantis has unveiled a plan to roll out nine new models under $40,000 by 2030, aiming to revive US volume and stabilize margins. The move includes new Ram, Dodge, and Jeep entries, alongside cost-cutting measures after heavy investments in electrification and a prior $26 billion annual loss.
Stellantis has announced a global recall covering 2021–2025 Jeep Wrangler SUVs and Gladiator pickups after an electrical connection in the power steering pump wiring could overheat and ignite. The recall affects about 1.08 million US vehicles, with additional units in Canada, Mexico and other markets. The fix will involve inspecting and potentially repairing or replacing wiring or the power steering pump, with remedies expected by July.
