Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep, announced on Wednesday that it will restart production at select U.S. assembly plants following recent “production adjustments.” The company is also evaluating whether additional measures are necessary to optimize its operations.

According to a report by The Wall Street Journal, Stellantis had temporarily halted the production of its popular Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee SUVs earlier this week. The company confirmed in a statement to Reuters that it is actively working on improving its U.S. manufacturing processes. This includes resuming operations at its Toledo North, Jefferson, and Mack assembly plants.

The production at these facilities is scheduled to resume on Thursday. Stellantis is focusing on refining its operational strategies to enhance efficiency and meet market demands.

In a recent leadership change, Stellantis appointed Bob Broderdorf as the new head of Jeep North America. Broderdorf previously served as the senior vice president of Ram brand operations and head of sales at Dodge. This appointment is part of Stellantis’ broader effort to strengthen its leadership team and drive its strategic objectives forward.

Additionally, the U.S. auto safety regulator, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), launched a recall investigation in July concerning 94,275 Jeep Wrangler 4xe hybrid SUVs. These vehicles, manufactured between 2021 and 2024, are under review for potential safety issues.

Stellantis remains committed to addressing these challenges and ensuring that its production and safety standards meet the highest benchmarks. The company will continue to monitor its operations and make necessary adjustments to maintain its competitive edge in the automotive market.
