The company said an investigation found 19 reports of fires, with one injury.
The recall covers 2020 to 2025 Jeep Wrangler 4xes as well as 2022 to 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xes.
In total, more than 375,000 of the SUVs are under the recall, with the bulk of them being in the U.S.
Stellantis is cautioning vehicle owners not to recharge their batteries regarding the recalled vehicles.
Also, the company is recommending owners park the recalled SUVs away from structures and other vehicles until a fix is made.
Owners with recalled vehicles will be contacted about scheduling a service.
