U90 recall

Chrysler2016 · 2022-08-31T12:49:44-0400

Are they ordering parts for it? They said they’ll order parts for mine so I’m still waiting for them to call me when it gets in.

Are they going to order the parts? The dealer said he’ll order mine so I’m just waiting for it.

They didn't specify if they had the parts for it or not, but I suspect they wouldn't have scheduled an appointment unless they had the parts in stock, or were sure they would be here by then.

Chrysler2016 · 2022-08-31T13:55:10-0400

Interesting. They didn’t schedule any appointment for me they just said they’ll call me when it gets in to schedule an appointment.

If anyone gets this recall fixed let me know how it went and if there’s any difference in your car at all. I’m still waiting for the dealership to call me.

I know that FCA was fined some time ago for not completing recalls in a timely manner.

Fiat Chrysler to pay up to $105M in penalties to NHTSA

Fiat Chrysler has agreed to pay largest fine ever from NHTSA, submit to oversight, buy back half-a-million vehicles.

They did make noticeable improvements to their handling of open recalls after this ruling.

It is yet to be seen how quickly they can put this recall U90 behind them. Ramping up supply of this very expensive (precious metals) and complex part will take time. The supply chain is still delaying access & logistics. Dealers will probably have to order each one discretely(?). Attempts have been made to fix this by modifying the PCM software, but the 'fix' has necessitated new hardware, the mani-verter.

Interesting. It’s been a week now and still haven’t heard from them. Hopefully sometime next week. It’s not really an important urgent recall like the W84 recall was to me but I’d still like to get it done.

200_S_AWD · 2022-09-03T07:33:24-0400

Anything concerning the EPA, NHTSA & the possible violation of emission laws is urgent.

Chrysler2016 · 2022-09-03T08:08:25-0400

Interesting. Well hopefully I’ll get the call soon. I’ll update this thread if anything comes up.

While we are on the topic of recalls & the corporation's desire to complete ALL open recalls, this was posted here as a reminder to check your VIN# for recalls.
If Chrysler doesn't know that you own the car or you have moved without updating your postal information, you may not be getting this very important information:

Emission Recalls: UB4 and U67

Hello everyone, Just a reminder of two emissions recalls that were launched previously in an effort to increase the completion rate: UB4: 2011-2016 models The Evaporative Emissions Canister on your vehicle may be unable to absorb the necessary amount of gasoline vapors during vehicle refueling...

I just picked up my car after the dealer took care of the U90 as well as the W84 recall that hadn't been addressed before I purchased the vehicle. Driving it home I didn't notice any difference at all.

Chrysler2016 · 2022-09-21T16:11:22-0400

Same here got mine back today. No difference at all. Did the mopar site update that your recall has been completed? Mine is still saying “incomplete”

Just checked this morning, it is showing both as being completed.

Chrysler2016 · 2022-09-22T10:47:55-0400

Mine is still saying incomplete. Not sure what’s going on

200_S_AWD · 2022-09-22T11:13:36-0400

It may be that the warranty office hasn't submitted the paperwork yet?

Chrysler2016 · 2022-09-22T11:22:11-0400

Yeah that might be the case but not exactly sure. I’ll keep an eye on it

Chrysler2016 · 2022-09-22T14:57:54-0400

It finally completed

Chrysler2016 · 2022-10-08T17:40:49-0400

So I’ve noticed that ever since I got this u90 recall done, my mpg has significantly dropped to 18mpg. Has anyone seen this huge drop in their mpg since having the recall done?
Also, I don’t drive my car very often I only drive to work and run errands if need be. My job is only 5 minutes away from my house BUT I’m thinking it can’t make my mpg drop down to 18mpg and it keeps going down. This has to be from the recall? Any thoughts?

rmpitzer · 2022-10-17T08:39:50-0400

I work from home and don't drive my car that much, but I did take it out this weekend and drove 100 miles and back to the Adirondack mountains. Gas mileage was the same as before, mid 30s.

I felt around town driving MPG has been affected. Road trips my car still gets high 30's.
Definitely dropped off for local driving and stop and go traffic.
I will assume that many people complained about oil consumption. However FCA denied that is the problem and stated that this recall is emissions related.
I suspect that engine timing has been changed to allow better low end torque, however I am not positive. Feels that way to me.
Just back from another road trip to North Carolina. Car returned excellent fuel mileage. Oil consumption is down.
