- Smoke, heat or a burning smell near the vehicle requires an emergency response
Other ways owners describe it: Jeep 4xe battery fire; Wrangler plug in hybrid recall; park outside Jeep recall; do not charge Wrangler 4xe; burning smell near hybrid battery; smoke while Jeep is parked.

Until the recall remedy is recorded complete, do not recharge the traction battery and park outdoors away from buildings and other vehicles, following FCA's owner advice.
Limit: Do not open, probe or attempt to discharge the high-voltage battery yourself.
