What Happened
The hybrid control processor is a computer that helps control your Wrangler's or Grand Cherokee's defrosting and defogging system. In some 2021-2024 models, this computer's software might cause the system to stop working properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the defrosting and defogging system isn't working, your windshield might stay foggy or icy, making it hard for you to see while driving. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Jeep dealer will update the HCP software to fix the problem, and the repair is completely free. You should schedule the update as soon as you get the recall notice.
