What's wrong?
The fuel supply line on the 2020 Jeep Wrangler carries gasoline to the high pressure fuel pump on the 2.0 Liter engine. Its plastic connector is the small fitting that locks the line to the pump and keeps fuel contained while the engine is running. That connection has to stay sealed as fuel pressure and engine heat change during normal driving.
On affected Wranglers, the plastic connector attached to the high pressure fuel pump was built during a suspect supplier period. The connector can crack, which lets fuel escape from the supply line. Once that seal is broken, gasoline can leak into the engine compartment instead of staying inside the fuel system.
The warning sign is a gasoline odor. If you smell fuel around the vehicle or from the engine area, treat it as a sign that the connector has begun to fail.

What's the safety risk?
A fuel leak near an ignition source increases the risk of fire. If you smell gasoline, stop using the Wrangler, move away from the vehicle, and call a Jeep dealer for guidance before another trip. The dealer will inspect the fuel supply line and replace it as needed. Repair is free at any franchised Jeep dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020 Jeep Wrangler is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Jeep dealer to schedule the free fuel-line inspection and fuel supply line replacement that fixes the cracked connector leak risk.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and reference recall number 21V665 when you call.
- Avoid heat, sparks, and open flames around the engine compartment until the dealer completes the fuel-line inspection.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jeep technician inspects the fuel supply line and replaces it if the inspection shows the line needs replacement. Parts and labor are covered under the recall, so the dealer repair is free. If you've already paid out of pocket for a related fuel supply line repair, FCA US's reimbursement practice applies. FCA US asks customers to send the original receipt or other adequate proof of payment to the company so the expense can be confirmed.
