REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL

Some high pressure fuel pumps (HPFPs) were improperly designed and could fail prematurely. A high pressure fuel pump failure may introduce internally failed component debris into the fuel system potentially causing fuel starvation if installed into a vehicle. Vehicle occupants may notice a Malfunction Indicator Lamp illuminating, a fuel leak, abnormal engine noise, or a change in drive quality. Fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.

SERVICE ACTION

FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all affected parts to repurchase suspect HPFPs and engines. The remedy for this condition is not currently available. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established communication methods. This recall is estimated to launch in 1st Quarter of 2022.
