Chrysler Recalls More than 230,000 SUVs for Fuel Pump Issue
Published at | Updated at
Chrysler Media(AUBURN HILLS, Mich.) — Chrysler Group announced a voluntary recall of more than 230,000 SUVs Saturday, citing fuel pump issues in certain 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Durango SUVs.
While the company said it is unaware of any related accidents or injuries, a routine internal review found a pattern of repairs for fuel-pump relays in the car models.
Further investigation revealed that some relays are “susceptible to deformation,” the company said in a statement, which could affect the device’s function and prevent a car from starting, or even lead to engine stalling.
Other operations, such as the deployment of airbags, are not affected by the fuel-pump relay.
The recall hits an estimated 188,723 vehicles in the U.S., 15,898 in Canada, 7,126 in Mexico, and 19,013 outside the North American Free Trade Agreement region. Services for customers will be performed at no cost, according to Chrysler Group.
