Chrysler recalling nearly half a million Durangos and Grand Cherokees
Rule number one of public relations – save the bad news for Friday. Fiat Chrysler has adhered to that, announcing today that it'd be voluntarily recalling 467,480 SUVs.
This latest recall could actually be thought of as a continuation of a September 2014 recall, relating to the fuel-cell relay. In that case, some 188,723 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee CUVs from model year 2011 were recalled. And this time, it's the Durango and GC in

trouble again.
FCA is adding crossovers from model years 2012 and 2013 to the fuel-pump recall, although only diesel-powered Jeeps with the 3.0-liter V6 that were sold outside of North America are affected this time around. As with the previous recall, deformities in the fuel-pump relay, which could affect its functioning. In most cases, FCA reports that the affected vehicles simply won't start, although they also could be prone to stalling. A new relay circuit will be installed that promises increase durability.
Of the 467,480 vehicles being recalled, 338,216 were sold in the US market, 18,991 went to Canada and 10,829 were shipped south of the border, to Mexico. Outside of the NAFTA region, FCA is recalling 99,444 vehicles.
No injuries or accidents have been associated with this recall.Show full PR textStatement: Fuel-Pump Relay
February 27, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 467,480 SUVs worldwide to install new a relay circuit that improves fuel-pump relay durability.
FCA US engineers have determined a condition identified in a previous investigation may extend to additional vehicles. The previous investigation, which led to a recall, traced a pattern of repairs to fuel-pump relays that are susceptible to deformation. This may affect fuel-pump function, preventing a vehicle from starting, or leading to engine stall.
Of the two scenarios, the no-start condition is the more common. FCA US is unaware of any related injuries or accidents.
The fuel-pump relay is located inside the Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM), which also helps manage other vehicle functions. None of these other functions, including air-bag deployment, is affected by the fuel-pump relay.
The new campaign affects an estimated 338,216 vehicles in the U.S.; 18,991 in Canada; 10,829 in Mexico and 99,444 outside the NAFTA region.
Covered are model-year 2012 and 2013 Dodge Durango full-size SUVs and non-NAFTA 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee mid-size SUVs equipped with 3.0-liter diesel engines. Current vehicles with EcoDiesel engines are not affected.
FCA US will advise affected customers when they may schedule service, which will be performed at no cost.
In the interim, customers who experience a no-start condition or engine stall are advised to consult their dealers. Owners with questions may call the FCA US Customer Information Center at 1-800-853-1403.Featured Gallery2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Speak for yourself, only an idiot would write such a BS comment. Jeep is as North Americian as it gets. Content from either Canada, US or Mexico all helps our economies because the US is not an island, and you're a fool to think that content is not coming all over the place for GM and Ford. The Jeep / Durango is assembled in Detroit, was designed in Auburn Hills, and has Suppliers from Canada, Mexico and from oversees to a lesser degree. It has pleantly of local content, and is an excellent vehicle. The recall is a cold solder defect where by in cold temperaures the relay looses connecttion due to contraction. It is a common problem in many, many applications - not only to Chrysler in this specific case.
