CP4 Fuel Pump EcoDiesel Recall

[Badunit]

Given that the recall doesn't cover the most recent EcoDiesels and the one I inspected on the dealer's lot the other day was not covered by the recall and had the CP4.2, I am left wondering

1. Whether the recall will install another CP4.2, not a CP3,
2. If FCA is playing games to keep selling EcoDiesels and will issue another recall for more recent models at a later date, and
3. What pump they will install on one ordered today.

These are the magic questions. I'm starting to think they are rolling the dice on the recall. Whoever fails or is recalled gets a new one, just to last them through warranty. Cummins has a much more valuable name to it, hence the effort to keep them running happy on cp3...

Exactly the same 20k on mine zero issues. Run 2oz per fill up try to use the r95 renewable diesel from 76 when I can. Going in for an oil change serpentine belt replacement and first fuel filter real soon.

"Record scratch " serpentine at 20k ??

Mine is a 21 and I have 51k I have been using additive since I got it with no issues. I did receive a letter about a recall on the pumps but mine said at the moment they didn't have a fix. Did anyone else get that?

i got the same letter. mine is a late 20 build 21 jtrd

Yep belt has visible cracks and squeaks when cold.

Its #2. They will install the same faulty pump if you ordered one today. There is no fix yet - the recall says the fix will be available Q3 2023. It's to be determined if it will be a revised pump, or a conversion of some sort i.e. CP3.

So those who haven't been recalled should rest easy?

The jury is still out on that notion. One pump has failed with no recall.

Right, but this post implied that everyone will eventually get a repaired pump I'm wondering if almost has insider knowledge.

Don't know.

Item (3) in my post was poorly stated. I meant that I wonder what pump would be on an EcoDiesel Gladiator if I ordered one now.

My bets the exact same bad pump.

Rest easy in that eventually you will have a recall? Yes.

Rest easy in that you still have a faulty pump? Maybe if you don't run fuel additive you should worry. On the diesel reliability poll there has been only one recorded pump failure for those using additives FWIW with over 200 respondents. 4% failure rate overall for fuel pumps.

So, is the 4% failure rate for folks not using additives, whereas failure rate for those using additives is one-half of 1%? Thanks for the clarification!

Basically. 3.6% failure rate for those that don't use additive and 0.4% for those that do use it.
