Recall - Fuel Filler Inlet Check Valve
December 2001
Dealer Service Instructions for:
Safety Recall No. A06 -- Fuel Filler Inlet Check Valve
Models
2002
(WJ)
Jeep(R) Grand Cherokee
NOTE:
This recall applies only to the above vehicles that were built from September 14, 2001 through October 12, 2001 (MDH 091417 through 101217).
IMPORTANT:
Safety Recall # A02 also involves the fuel filler inlet check valve repair and an additional repair for vehicles built through September 14, 2001.
Dealers must verify which recall the vehicle is involved in prior to completing the service procedure.
IMPORTANT:
Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to stop sale and complete this recall service on these
vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on
vehicles in for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the DIAL VIP System.
The fuel filler inlet check valve inside of the fuel tank on about 12,000 of the above vehicles may stick in the open position. An open check valve can
cause fuel to spill out of the filler tube when the vehicle is being refueled. Fuel in the presence of an ignition source can result in a fire.
All involved vehicles must be inspected to determine if the fuel filler inlet check valve inside of the fuel tank will stick. If a check valve sticks in the
open position, the fuel tank must be replaced.
Alternate Transportation
Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner vehicle if inspection determines that fuel tank replacement
is required and the vehicle must be held overnight.

B.
Fuel Tank
Part Number
Description
CBD0A023
Fuel Tank Package
Each package contains a fuel tank, a fuel pump module seal and ten plastic rivets.
Due to the small number of involved vehicles expected to require fuel tank replacement, no parts will be distributed initially. Fuel tank packages
should be ordered only after inspection determines that replacement is required.
Very few vehicles are expected to require fuel tank replacement.
Special Tool Requirement
Use of a special fuel filler probe is required to perform the service procedure. All Jeep, Chrysler and Dodge dealers will receive one (1) Fuel Filler Probe
(Miller Special Tool # 8983) in late-December 2001 free of charge. Additional fuel filler probes may be purchased from Miller Tool. Additional probes
are not reimbursable by DaimlerChrysler.
