Chrysler (FCA US, LLC): Mopar Frame Assemblies Recalled for Fuel Tank Puncture Risk

Agency Publication Date: March 23, 2023

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling approximately 165 Mopar frame assemblies with part numbers 68495556AA, 68495556AB, 68438094AB, and 68438096AB. When these frames are installed in a vehicle, a specific stud on the assembly can puncture the fuel tank during a crash, which may result in a fuel leak. If a leak occurs near an ignition source, it can lead to a vehicle fire. Dealers will inspect the frame and, if the stud is found, they will remove it and apply protective paint at no cost to the owner.

Risk

In the event of a collision, a metal stud on the frame can pierce the fuel tank and cause gasoline to leak. Leaking fuel significantly increases the risk of a fire if it comes into contact with sparks, hot engine components, or other ignition sources.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your vehicle has had a replacement Mopar frame assembly installed with part numbers 68495556AA, 68495556AB, 68438094AB, or 68438096AB.
  2. Contact an authorized Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) dealer to schedule a free inspection of the frame assembly.
  3. If the problematic stud is identified during the inspection, the dealer will remove it and apply paint to the area to prevent corrosion and fuel tank damage.
  4. Contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403 regarding recall number 29A for more information or to verify if your parts are included.
  5. Contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for additional safety information.
