Stellantis issues recall of over 175,000 Dodge, Jeep vehicles due to engine issues

April 19, 2023

Stellantis is recalling numerous Dodge and Jeep models due to issues that could prompt a sudden stall.

The largest of the recalls, impacting a total of 131,700 2021 Ram 1500 vehicles, was cited as a software problem that could cause engine stalls. The recall notice posted on the NHTSA website explains that “powertrain control module software may cause an incorrect fuel mixture condition in the engine, and result in an engine stall.”

In a similar issue, about 45,711 vehicles equipped with the same 3.0L diesel engine could stall due to the potential failure of a high pressure fuel pump (HPFP). The recall notice impacts 2021-2023 Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator models, as well as 2022-2023 Ram 1500 vehicles equipped with the aforementioned engine.

The automaker has instructed Ram owners affected by the software malfunction to update the Powertrain Control Module calibration software at dealers, which will be done free of charge. Dealers will also replace the HPFP and any additional fuel system components in need of service sans cost, according to the NHTSA notice.

Notification letters for each of the recalls should arrive to affected customers by the start of June.

Wonder when they'll actually have parts available? It's been like 6 months since I got my mailer and notification in the Jeep app.

Mine was built in April 2022 and is not under the recall. Even though it has the exact same injector pump as the ones that are under recall.

I came across this detailed article late yesterday which goes into a little more detail about the issue. As some of you may have seen a posting of mine in another forum thread, I have been considering a diesel gladiator acquisition and at first thought about trying to order one, but have since found some in an inventory search. Still unsure if will pursue it as it would be my daily driving vehicle, in fact my only one. I also travel to national parks, forests, and the like for hiking and backpacking and am obviously in need of a reliable vehicle.

It's coming, they didn't release the vins yet. June 02.

FFS software should never cause an engine stall....

Could an Emissions delete and tune help? My bro lives in South Carolina and they dont got emissions there

The CP4 isn't an issue as long as you use a fuel additive with lubrication or running biodiesel blends. I've got a buddy that runs biodiesel in his truck, and he now has 415,000 miles on the CP4 with no issues. The recall will take years to complete. It's not a fast or easy replacement part. If there's any sign of metal, then the injectors, fuel lines, and fuel tank get cleaned or replaced. The parts will be a slow release.

Tune yes, but this failure has nothing to do with emissions.
