What's wrong?
The high pressure fuel pump on the 2014-2020 Ram 1500 and Grand Cherokee with the 3.0L diesel engine supplies fuel to the engine at the pressure the injectors need. In normal operation, it keeps diesel fuel moving cleanly from the tank side of the system to the engine so combustion stays steady.
On affected vehicles, the pump can fail prematurely. When that happens, internal metal or component debris enters the fuel system and restricts fuel flow. The engine is then starved of fuel, which can lead to a stall while driving.
Owners can notice a Malfunction Indicator Lamp, a service Electronic Throttle Control indicator, a fuel leak at the high pressure fuel pump, or excessive noise from the pump. Those signs mean the fuel system needs dealer attention before the pump failure progresses.
Who's affected?
Spans Ram 1500 trucks and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs from 2014-2020, all tied to the high pressure fuel pump.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
Fuel starvation can cause unexpected loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. Warning signs include a Malfunction Indicator Lamp, a service Electronic Throttle Control light, a fuel leak at the HPFP, or excessive HPFP noise. If these appear, pull over when safe and contact a dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Ram dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014-2020 Ram 1500 or Jeep Grand Cherokee is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ram or Jeep dealer to schedule the free HPFP replacement that addresses pump debris and fuel starvation in the diesel fuel system.
- Bring the recall notice if Ram has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 22V406 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Loss of drive power increases crash risk.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ram technician replaces the high pressure fuel pump (HPFP), then inspects the related fuel system parts for internal debris or damage. Any additional fuel system components that need replacement are replaced as part of the recall. The replacement parts and labor are free. If you already paid out of pocket for this same fuel-system repair, FCA US' reimbursement program asks customers to send the original receipt or other proof of payment to confirm the expense.
