Dodge Hornet Recall 23V623: Loose Battery Cable Can Overheat and Cause Fire

What this recall means for you

Some plug-in hybrid vehicles may have a 12-volt battery positive cable or high-voltage connector cable that was not tightened properly. Over time, this can cause the electrical connections to overheat.

Overheating connections can lead to a fire, either while the vehicle is parked or while it is being driven, which raises the risk of injury. Until the repair is done, park the vehicle outside and away from buildings and other structures.

An authorized dealer will inspect the cable connections and tighten them as needed, at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed September 28, 2023.
