A vehicle fire can increase the risk of injury.
The fix — and whether it has actually arrived
Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures and not to charge their vehicles until the remedy is completed. Dealers will update the high voltage battery software, and replace the high voltage battery, as necessary, free of charge. Some owner notification letters were mailed beginning December 17, 2025. The remaining owner notification letters will be mailed at a later date. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is 68C. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning November 6, 2025. Vehicles that were previously recalled for the same issue under NHTSA Recalls 24V720 and 23V787 will need to have the new remedy performed.
If the remedy is not available yet, or your dealer cannot tell you when the parts will arrive, ask for that in writing. A manufacturer that cannot repair your vehicle within a reasonable time is a manufacturer with a lemon law problem.
Your rights
Why a park-outside recall is different from an ordinary one
This is the strongest kind of recall for a California lemon law claim, and most owners do not realize it.
When Jeep tells you to park your vehicle outside and away from buildings, it is not offering advice. It is stating, in writing, that your car may catch fire — and that it cannot currently make it safe. From the moment that letter arrives, you have a vehicle you cannot park in your own garage, cannot leave near your house, and cannot reasonably ask a neighbour to park beside.
California's Lemon Law asks whether a defect substantially impairs the vehicle's use, value, or safety. A car you have been instructed not to park where you live fails all three tests simultaneously — and it fails them today, not after some future repair attempt. This is why the usual objection (“but I have never taken it in for repairs”) carries much less weight here than owners assume.
A recall is not automatically a lemon. It is the manufacturer admitting a defect and offering to fix it free — that is the system working. A lemon law claim arises when the fix fails, the fix never comes, or the defect has already taken the use of your vehicle away from you.

Is my Jeep included in recall 25V741000?

Does recall 25V741000 make my Jeep a lemon?
Strong. A fire-risk recall with a park-outside instruction impairs use, value and safety from the day the letter arrives — often without any repair history at all. If the remedy is delayed or the replacement parts are backordered, that is the profile of a buyback case.
