  • 2011-22 Jeep Grand Cherokee recalled
  • 2011-14 Chrysler 300 also affected
  • Diesel vehicles recalled due to potential high-pressure fuel pump fault

A potential fuel pump fault has resulted in the recall, which affects 3.0-litre turbo-diesel V6 vehicles built between 2011 and 2022.

The diesel Chrysler 300 was sold between 2011 and 2015. The latest recall is the 18th for the previous-generation Jeep Grand Cherokee in Australia.

According to the recall notice issued by the Department of Infrastructure, the "high-pressure fuel pump could fail prematurely and introduce failed component debris into the fuel system."

"This could impair the fuel supply to the engine and result in a loss of power whilst driving."

The recall notice states: "A loss of power while driving could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders."
