Stellantis Australia has issued a recall for 38,809 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs and 4859 Chrysler 300 sedans.
Snapshot
- 2011-22 Jeep Grand Cherokee recalled
- 2011-14 Chrysler 300 also affected
- Diesel vehicles recalled due to potential high-pressure fuel pump fault
A potential fuel pump fault has resulted in the recall, which affects 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 vehicles built between 2011 and 2022.
The diesel Chrysler 300 was sold between 2011 and 2015. The latest recall is the 18th for the previous-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee in Australia.
According to the recall notice issued by the Department of Infrastructure, the "high-pressure fuel pump could fail prematurely and introduce failed component debris into the fuel system."
"This could impair the fuel supply to the engine and result in a loss of power whilst driving."
The recall notice states: "A loss of power while driving could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders."
Stellantis Australia says parts are "currently not available", with a follow-up letter to be sent to affected owners when parts become available.
Affected owners should contact their preferred Jeep dealership to arrange a repair when the follow-up notice is received.
