RECALL: Stellantis Recalls 45,711 EcoDiesel Vehicles For HPFP Failure

Ram 1500, Jeep® Wrangler, and Jeep Gladiator Models Are Affected...

About 45,711 EcoDiesel-powered 2021 to 2023 Jeep® Wrangler (WL), Gladiator (JT), and 2022 to 2023 Ram 1500 vehicles are being recalled by Stellantis (FCA US, LLC) due to a potential high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) failure.

2023 Ram 1500 Limited Crew Cab 4×4. (Ram).

Failure of the HPFP could result in fuel starvation if it introduces debris from internally damaged components into the fuel system. Lack of fuel may cause an abrupt loss of thrust, which may result in an unanticipated loss of control and a sudden vehicle crash. The people inside the car might see a malfunction indicator lamp, a service electronic throttle control indicator, a fuel leak at the HPFP, or too much noise coming from the HPFP.

What are they replacing them with? Hopefully the cp3 since it's pretty much bulletproof

Is there any new updates on when to expect parts to be shipped? Trying to buy a new ram with the ecodiesel and all I keep hearing is that they think the parts shipped.

Considering this defect can result in an accident causing serious injury and/or death, I would think there would be lemon laws that now
could be pursued in California. It's obvious RAM isn't interested in fixing this promptly and all I can say is I wouldn't be the witch with a B
that they want to deal with if my son is killed due to a failure and an accident.
