ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2019 Ram 1500 and 2014-2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles equipped with 3.0L Diesel engines. The crankshaft position sensor tone wheel may delaminate, causing the engine to lose its ability to synchronize the fuel injector pulses and cam shaft timing, possibly resulting in an engine stall.
- What it can cause
- An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the powertrain control module software to maintain vehicle propulsion, free of charge. Interim notification letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed August 3, 2023. Some owner notification letters were mailed October 31, 2023. The remaining owner notification letters will be mailed at a future date, anticipated July 2024. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is 66A. This recall is an expansion of recall 20V-475.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
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 80,629 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 91% 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 9 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Jeep vehicles have been recalled over the engine and engine cooling 12 times before this, most recently in April 2022 as 22V284000. 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, 8,459 of them before this campaign was filed. 376 of those name the engine and engine cooling, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in April 2013, 10 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 8, 2023 as campaign 23V411000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
