What's wrong, in plain English
Some of these hybrid engines were built with debris left inside them. That debris can cause the engine to fail. If the engine fails, the vehicle can suddenly lose drive power while you are driving. An engine failure can also lead to a fire starting in the engine compartment. Both a sudden loss of power and an engine fire put people in and around the vehicle at greater risk.
What you should do
2. Contact a Jeep dealer, or call Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403.
3. The repair (a software update and engine or block replacement as needed) is free.
