Jeep Renegade fuel pump flaw can stall engine

NHTSA campaign 18V731000 · Reported 2018-10-17 · Chrysler (FCA US LLC)

high How serious is it? About this label

Serious — a stall can happen while you are driving and leave you without engine power in traffic, so get this fixed promptly rather than putting it off.

What's wrong, in plain English

A manufacturing mistake in the fuel pump can let fuel pressure drop when the engine is working hard — for example, climbing at high altitude or driving in very hot weather. If that happens the engine can stall, leaving you without power. This covers certain 2017-2018 Renegade 4X2 flex-fuel (E85) models with the 2.4-liter engine. Dealers replace the fuel pump free of charge. The recall began April 26, 2019.

What you should do

1. Look up your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your Renegade is affected.
2. Contact your Jeep dealer, or Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403, and mention recall UB2.
3. Schedule the fuel pump replacement — it costs you nothing.
