What the source says
The documented condition
FCA recall 68C covers certain 2020 to 2025 Wrangler 4xe vehicles. Cells in the high-voltage pack may have separator damage which, with other cell interactions, can lead to a fire. The current dealer remedy became available for Wrangler vehicles in December 2025. Vehicles previously repaired under recalls 23V-787 or 24V-720 still need the 68C procedure.

What the official procedure directs
FCA advises owners not to recharge and to park away from structures or other vehicles until the remedy is obtained. Dealers perform the 68C battery analysis, update battery-control software and replace the high-voltage pack if the prescribed analysis requires it.
Mileage context
Recall 25V-741 is based on the high-voltage battery cell population and production dates, not mileage.

Wrangler 4xe high-voltage battery analysis and remedy
The dealer first runs the 68C battery analysis and updates the BPCM when directed. A second analysis determines whether the pack must be replaced.
Repair paths and safe checks
Match the action to the evidence.
Complete recall 68C battery analysis
A Jeep dealer runs the 68C high-voltage battery analysis and updates the Battery Pack Control Module when needed. A repeat analysis determines whether the battery pack requires replacement.
A completed 23V-787 or 24V-720 repair does not remove the need for 68C on an included VIN.
Stop charging and follow the outdoor parking precaution
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.
Do not open, probe or attempt to discharge the high-voltage battery yourself.
