- Dealers will replace the HPFP, and inspect and replace, if necessary, additional fuel system components, free of charge. Interim notification letters informing owners of the safety risk were mailed July 21, 2022. Owner notification letters for were mailed for Jeep Grand Cherokee owners starting January 11, 2024.

Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 138,645 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 93% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2014 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 8 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ram vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, diesel 2 times before this, most recently in November 2021 as 21V880000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 13 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 13,553 complaints with NHTSA, 7,291 of them before this campaign was filed. 406 of those name the fuel system, diesel, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in April 2013, 9 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 19 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V495000 (seat belts), 25V824000 (air bags), 25V592000 (air bags), 25V298000 (air bags).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) with NHTSA on June 9, 2022 as campaign 22V406000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
