Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ram 1500 Diesel Fuel Pump Failure
high How serious is it? About this label
Serious: an unexpected loss of engine power increases the risk of a crash, and although the notice does not tell owners to park the vehicle, the repair should not be put off.
What's wrong, in plain English
These diesel trucks and SUVs have a pump that pushes fuel to the engine at very high pressure. If that pump fails, debris from inside it can get into the fuel system and leave the engine starved of fuel. When that happens, the vehicle can suddenly lose power while you are driving. Your dealer will replace the pump, and also check the rest of the fuel system and replace any other parts that need it, at no charge.
What you should do
2. Contact your Jeep or Ram dealer for an appointment, or call FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403 (recall number Z46).
3. Let the dealer replace the fuel pump and inspect the fuel system. There is no cost to you.
