Chrysler has announced a recall of certain 2014-2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles equipped with a 3.0L diesel engine.
Some vehicles may have been built with magnetic material attached to the tone wheel which provides a signal to the crankshaft position sensor. If the signal material is lost, the engine loses its ability to synchronize injector pulses and cam timing.
The loss of the crankshaft position can result in an engine stall as well as loss of the ability to restart the engine.
