Jeep owners should park outside pending recall fix, US agency says

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said owners of 154,000 Jeep plug-in hybrid electric SUVs should park outside and away from buildings or other vehicles until they get recall repairs completed.

Jeep-parent Stellantis (NYSE:STLA ) on Monday said it was recalling 194,000 Jeep Wranger and Grand Cherokee plug-in hybrids worldwide -- including 154,00 in the United States -- after reports of 13 fires. NHTSA said there have been two injuries reported to date that may be tied to the recall issue. The affected vehicles were been built with a high voltage battery that may fail internally, NHTSA said. Stellantis said the battery pack was produced by Samsung (KS:005930 ) SDI.
