Chrysler Recalls 2014-2020 Jeep and Ram 1500 Diesel Vehicles

Chrysler is recalling 2014-2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2014-2019 Ram 1500 diesel vehicles because a fuel pump failure may cause fuel starvation and loss of drive power.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (fuel system failure) that results in loss of drive power, which the source text explicitly states increases the risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

Plain-English summary

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2014-2019 Ram 1500 vehicles equipped with 3.0L diesel engines. The recall involves approximately 138,645 vehicles.

A high pressure fuel pump (HPFP) failure may introduce internal debris into the fuel system, potentially resulting in fuel starvation. This condition may cause an unexpected loss of drive power, which increases the risk of a crash.

Owner notification letters for Jeep Grand Cherokee owners were mailed starting January 11, 2024, and for Ram 1500 owners on March 7, 2024.
