Jeep and Ram will issue a recall order for about 130,000 SUVs and pickups powered by 3.0-liter EcoDiesel engines. A premature fuel pump failure can leave them stranded.
Affected models include Jeep Grand Cherokees from model years 2014-2020 and Ram 1500 pickups from 2014-2019. The trucks have high-pressure fuel pumps that can wear out early. Drivers might notice excessive engine noise or a check engine light as the part begins to fail. When the fuel pump fails, the engine won’t start.
Jeep and Ram parent company Stellantis says dealers will replace the high-pressure fuel pump with a redesigned part “with improved durability.”
