HPFP Recall in the US

[Adrian2012]

Hi All,
To find if your VIN is on the list ...
Download the file, it is a Microsoft Excel file sorted in alpha/numeric order.
Open the file. Highlight the whole of column A, Ctrl+F to open the find query, have your VIN ready and type in the last two alpha characters and the last six numeric characters and the click on find. For example CC123456.

Not sure it's even worth checking as it's ALL WK2 diesels (incl. pre-MY14) I believe?

It would shock me if they issued a 'do not drive' in this instance, given the number of vehicles affected, extreme rarity of the issue, and lack of available solution.

It's obviously not ideal, but it's a bit of a storm in a teacup. The media beat up of Jeep continues - quick and easy clicks and comments...

One good thing to come of this is now we have an actual idea of how many diesel GCs are in the country

Storm in a teacup if nothing happens to you or me! My mates 2014 stopped
dead towing his van on Coffs Hbr motorway two weeks ago.Close to being totalled by a truck following!Jeep dealer said looks like crankshaft sensor ,but couldnt fix with software update.Now auto has to come out at FCAs expense,the dealer is not real happy even doing it! The big problem is FCA stating no parts available.Just the same for the fuel pump relay debacle! Put up with no starting ,
stopping when it shouldnt etc! Still waiting for a new tipm three years on! From my dealings with them over the last 15 years mostly on legitimate warranty issues ,FCA couldnt give a rats backside!

Sorry, I should've been more specific - the issue (particularly the media coverage) is a bit of a storm in a teacup, from the perspective of how rare failure is in Australia (and even in the US) - as far as I'm aware there have been no instances of failure in Aus, and it's believed that the US diesel grade is partly to blame.

The consequences themselves, should they arise, can be very significant - as your mate experienced with the crankshaft sensor (definitely glad I got that recall done).

I'm happy to drag Jeep's customer service at any opportunity, but the parts supply issue really is out of Stellantis/Jeep/FCA's hands, as it's a Bosch problem. I know that means jack all for customers, but no action can really be expected of Jeep in this particular instance until Bosch can guarantee supply. The only other option would be exploring alternative fuel pump suppliers, but that could have packaging and compatibility issues, and would have to come out of Stellantis' bottom line, unless they can reach an agreement with Bosch to foot the bill.
