Ugh 🤦Dreaded Safety Recall notice arrived HPFP

[JEEPIDON]

So are the new JT diesels getting the same "recalled" HPFP?
If so, can't imagine a class action not being filed.

For what damages? It seems that Stellantis is covering the replacement so what does a long drawn out class action suit do for the owners? Lawyers will absorb most if any recovery.

I never understand why people jump to class action as a remedy when seldom does it really pay off. Lawyer preferred!

I had the exact same thought. The "lawyer" arrow is pulled from the quiver at the drop of a hat.

Is ANYONE (let alone an entire class of customers) out any money?

Assuming that it fails at some ideal point in time where you're already at the shop, nothing else of significance gets damaged, all of the required parts are immediately available, and the service department puts you at the front of their schedule, then no, you're not out of a significant amount of time / money.

That scenario, of course, is unrealistic.

Note also that the resale value of a vehicle with an unresolved active recall will most likely be diminished. That's money out of our pockets.

Received mine yesterday as well.

I went, “meh”, and tossed it into the filing cabinet. I’ll keep driving mine, using lubricity additives etc and loving every minute. It’s no worse than the issues I’ve dealt with on our other vehicles in terms of rarity. Sure, if I’m one of the tiny percentage that have the problem it’s going to be a pain for a while waiting on repair, but I’ve had far more frequent issues with my wife’s 2016 Explorer platinum and our ‘05 6.0 F-350. Turbo has died twice on the truck, EGR died, FICM died, door chime got stuck (still have to figure that one out), wheel speed sensors, etc. Kept it and fixed it because that was still far cheaper than buying a $100k truck just to tow once in a while. Wife will get a new Explorer soon though.

So far I’m happy with the Jeep. I don’t mind fixing stuff as long as the vehicle itself makes me happy. Hell, I was constantly wrenching on my ‘01 XJ. I had it really dialed in and running in top shape when I sold it for the JL. Only reason I did that was because my wife got carsick in the XJ really easily and wouldn’t go wheeling with me. With the JL she has no issues and even wants to drive trails now. So, it’ll stay and I’ll just fix whatever issues arise.

Being able to disconnect the sway bar on demand makes a massive difference in comfort / car sickness.

Anyone that has a Wrangler with a 3.0 is under recall. They simply played games up until April 2023 so they could sell their stock then put all of them under recall.

They couldn't sell the new ones with a safety recall. Problem has been known since the release of the Bosch Fuel Pump. Not sure if it is a problem in Europe where they don't have trash diesel fuel like the states.

So true. I had manual disconnects on the XJ, and even with those disconnected she had issues. Probably because of how cramped the interior felt, coupled with the seats and such.
