RAM 1500 Recall 22V406: Fuel pump failure can cause sudden loss of engine power

NHTSA campaign 22V406, reported June 9, 2022, 138,645 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

This recall covers certain diesel-engine vehicles with a 3.0L engine in which the high pressure fuel pump can fail and send internal debris through the fuel system. That debris can lead to fuel starvation, which may cause an unexpected loss of drive power while you are driving.

A sudden loss of power increases the risk of a crash, especially in traffic or at highway speeds. Owners should not ignore warning signs and should get the vehicle checked promptly.

Authorized dealers will replace the high pressure fuel pump and inspect, and replace if necessary, other fuel system components at no cost to you. Owners can contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403 (recall number Z46). You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to confirm whether your vehicle is affected.
