An issue with the high-pressure fuel pump has prompted Stellantis to recall more than 45,000 Jeep Gladiator trucks and Wrangler SUVs and Ram 1500 trucks.

Affected vehicles include model-year 2021-23 Gladiators and Wranglers and model-year 2022-23 Ram 1500s equipped with 3.0-liter diesel V-6 engines. The high-pressure fuel pump failure may introduce internal debris into the fuel system and potentially cause fuel starvation. Fuel starvation can result in a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
To fix the issue, dealers will replace the pump and other fuel system components, as necessary, for free. Owner notification letters are expected to be sent June 2, but those with further questions can contact Jeep and Ram parent automaker Stellantis at 800-853-1403 (Stellantis’ number for this recall is 01A), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
