FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Safety Recalls

Critical #06E011000 Plain English
Component

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

Manufacturer
AIRTEX PRODUCTS
What Happened
The fuel pump in your Jeep or Dodge is a crucial part that sends gasoline from the tank to your engine. Unfortunately, some aftermarket fuel pumps installed in certain model years may have a weak plastic connector that can break down and leak fuel.
Risk if Unfixed
If the connector fails, you're at risk of a fuel leak. If there's an ignition source nearby, like a spark from the engine or a lit cigarette, the fuel can ignite, causing a fire.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump with a new, safe one, completely free of charge. You'll get a notice on January 25, 2006, and they'll take care of it for you.
