Chrysler Recall 2015: Car Company Recalling 467,000 SUVs Due to Potential Stalling Issue

Fiat Chrysler is adding more than 467,000 SUVs worldwide to a recall from last year. The recall will fix a potential stalling problem, CNBC reports.

Fiat Chrysler says it will recall 2012 and 2013 Dodge Durangos and 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokees outside of North America. These SUVs are in addition to last year's recall of 189,000 Durangos and Cherokees.

When looking at last year's recalls, Fiat Chrysler engineers found the condition could affect more vehicles.

Chrysler says stalling could occur when fuel pumps deform and cause the pumps to malfunction. Either stalling or engines failing to start. Chrysler is unaware of any injuries from the problem.

The fuel-pump relay is found inside the total integrated power module (TIPM). The TIPM also helps the manage other vehicle functions. Chrysler said no other function, including air bag deployment is affected by the fuel-pump relay, according to The Detroit News.

In October, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration agreed to look into 4.9 million Chrysler vehicles from the 2007-14 model years for issues involving electronic failures that could be linked to engine stalling, air bags failing to deploy, unintended acceleration or vehicle fires.

In August, the Center for Auto Safety asked the NHTSA to investigate Chrysler SUVs TIPM systems, specifically a version called the TIPM-7. NHTSA will review the complaint and decide to investigate or not.

Then in September, the 189,000 Durangos and Cherokees were recalled due to the failure in the fuel pump relay inside the TIPM.

Now, Chrysler is adding more than 467,000 to that same issue.

Chrysler says the issue is not the TIPM but a relay inside the module.

Dealers will address the issue by installing a new relay circuit. Chrysler will contact customers affected by the recall and let them know when they can schedule service to have the problem fixed.
