Chrysler recalling nearly 189K SUVs
Chrysler is recalling nearly 189,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Durangos in the U.S. to fix a fuel pump problem that can cause the SUVs to stall.
The recall covers some 2011 models with 3.6-liter V6 or 5.7-liter V8 engines. Chrysler says a relay can fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
Chrysler traced the problem to a spring that can deform because of heat.
The vehicles also might not start, and the fuel pump could keep working even when the engine is shut off. The company says that as of Aug. 25 it’s not aware of any crashes or injuries from the problem.
Dealers will replace the fuel pump relay for free starting Oct. 24.
