RepairPal Expert Overview
Our Quick Take:
The engine may stall and/or a fuel leak could develop from the fuel tank area due to a broken fuel control valve in the fuel tank assembly.
What Should You Do?
Chrysler will notify owners of affected vehicles during March, 2013. If you experience an engine stalling condition and/or notice an abnormal fuel smell, or you don't receive notification and you feel you should have, please contact your dealer. It’s helpful to have your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy when you call. The Chrysler recall number is N02.
Summary:
The vehicle emission control system includes a fuel vapor canister that stores excess fuel vapors and then releases them to be burned when the engine is running. A broken control valve in the fuel tank assembly could allow liquid fuel to enter the vapor canister, resulting in an engine stalling condition and/or a fuel leak. Having the engine stall while driving increases the risk of a crash and any fuel leak always increases the risk of a fire. Dealers will inspect the fuel tank assembly on affected vehicles and replace a damaged control valve to correct this concern.
