Fuel Pump Module Failure

Recalls address fuel pump module issues due to insufficiently crimped wire contacts, which can cause fuel delivery failure and stalling. The remedy is replacement of the fuel pump module. Estimated repair cost: $600 - $1,000.

While not directly tied to recalls, turbochargers on turbocharged engines can be a source of expensive repairs. Issues can stem from oil supply problems, wastegate actuator failure, or internal wear. Estimated repair cost: $1,500 - $3,000.
