July 9 (Reuters) - The National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA) has opened a recall query into 94,275

Stellantis ( STLA )-owned Jeep SUVs over a loss of motive

power, the U.S. auto safety regulator said on Tuesday.

The investigation targets Jeep's Wrangler 4xe hybrid SUVs

manufactured between 2021 through 2024. Chrysler had previously

recalled the same model in 2022 to address concerns related to

an engine shutdown.

A recall query is an investigation opened by safety

regulators when a remedy to solve an issue appears inadequate.

The complaints noted in the new report include both

failures in vehicles that received the recall remedy and those

not covered by the prior recall, the NHTSA said.
