Stellantis, Jeep’s parent company, estimates that 5 per cent of vehicles are affected, and the fire risk decreases when battery levels are low.

Owners are warned to park away from structures and other vehicles until a remedy is found.

Fortunately, reports added that a remedy is imminent, and owners will be notified when to bring their vehicles in for servicing.
