Recall: 3.0L EcoDiesel engine high pressure fuel pump (HPFP) failure (2021-2023 Gladiator)

[sns1294]

The recall doesn't show up in the app, but it does on the website for my 2023 JTRD built in January.

Has to pulled the cab off just to replace the turbo is an insanely bad design. Like the oil filter with the vacuum line run right across it lol.

We need Jeep's engineers to performs some maintenance on their own products.

Ford and GM's trucks with diesels. You have to pull the cab on those to work on them.

They better start designs some quick disconnect harness and linkages.

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.

I believe the failure rate is under 7% in all vehicles that use this hpfp in usa and under 1% in eu. Just use some hot shots lx4 and a few prayers, you will be fine.

I was investigating acquiring a diesel gladiator when the recalls started happening. As of the most recent recall, it caused all dealers to not be able to sell any of the diesel gladiator inventory they have on hand until the fix for the issue is available. There were two dealers that had some diesel gladiators that I was interested in and I emailed both asking if they still had the vehicles and would they make them available once they had installed the fix. Both replied in the affirmative. So at the moment I am still considering a diesel gladiator and realize that the 2023 model year is likely the last year they will be available.

Ram did an internal investigation on the 2014 - 2019 EcoDiesel and said there was an estimated 1% failure rate.

Yeah, I can’t find where I got my info, just leisure reading when I was supposed to be working. I found it ….it was the hot shots web site.

i had a bmw diesel with no issue with the same hpfp, I did not use additives at that time…but bmw would take care of me better than fca if it did blow.

i have never had a vehicle where there is a recall and the solution had not been implemented. Thinking we will get cp3s retrofitted?

This will be interesting for me. My fuel pump went out on NYE and Jeep ended up replacing the entire fuel system. Which took about 50 days for all the parts and installation to be completed. But they replaced the pump with the same 68501449AA part that is listed in the new recall. My jeep was built in earlier 22 but wasn't originally included in the first fuel pump recall notice.

Not sure where the cut off date was or how they figured newer models were not an issue. I was looking at a new 21 that was still on a lot that did not have the recall in January.

It depends on what you are doing of course. Cp4 pump replacement, no. Other tasks you might find it easier and it will save you time. You need a platform to work from.

Use good quality fuel, never run out of fuel and don't screw up a filter change and risk the pump running dry and the cp4 will be just fine. I keep telling myself this for my Duramax. It weighs on me, but I just follow those unwritten rules. You can use lubrication additives as directed.

The failure rate is different on each application (based on manufacturer who used a version of the pump). We've been told by an FCA insider that the CP4 pump used on the EcoDiesel was actually the better version. I think it had an extra layer of coating compared to the CP4 pump that other auto manufacturers used.

From my understanding, we're getting an updated version of the CP4 pump and no flash update is required. According to my dealer, they will start getting 5 CP4 pumps in each month starting in June.

Thanks for the info. Looks like we’re all going to be waiting for a bit

Italian engine and American maintenance regimen. What could go wrong….

My Sicilian grandfather would gripe and cuss at the technicians servicing his vehicles as they weren’t treating right. He said the vehicle has to be serviced with love and respect, not like a number or hunk of metal.

We will see how fast they fix the ones sitting in the production line lots. Rubicon fully loaded. Ordered 8 March, D1 on the 18th of March, went to E Status on the 12th of April and went to JS on the 18th of April according to the Dealer data. It still shows E status on jeep.com and I can only get the built sheet from the VIN.... not the Sticker since it hasn't been "born" (KZ status) at the Factory yet.

I'm patient....but expect mid June or later before status changes. was hoping to get it before the recall happened but slowing my roll right now lol. It just means I save more money for all the add on stuff I am planning to place on it.

We saw a warrantied 2nd gen EcoDiesel engine come from Mopar with the NEW pump! That was two weeks ago! So, at least the crate engines coming out of Mopar have the new pumps!

My dealer received a memo from FCA stating that they would be sent 4 HPFPs each month starting in June and to start scheduling appointments.
