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 Dakota is a critical part that delivers gasoline to your engine. Some aftermarket pumps installed in certain models (1997-2004 Wrangler, 1997-2001 Cherokee, 1997-2004 Grand Cherokee, 2000-2003 Dakota) have a weak electrical connector that can break down over time.
Risk if Unfixed
If the connector fails, fuel can leak out and, in the presence of an ignition source, it could cause a fire. This is a serious risk that could happen while you're driving or parked.
Free Fix
Airtex will replace the faulty fuel pump with a new one, free of charge. You should call Airtex at 1-800-880-3056 to schedule the repair as soon as possible.
