Description of the problem	Fiat chrysler automobiles (fca) issued a recall for the ram 1500 ecodiesel, model year 2014-2019, for potential fires. Their recall states that the emissions gas re-circulation (egr) cooler can develop cracks and there is risk of an engine fire and potential for injury resulting. Fca goes on to state that injuries have occurred as a result of this particular engineering or manufacturing fault. My vehicle, the 2014 grand cherokee, was purchased with the optional 3. 0l v6 turbodiesel engine, the "ecodiesel." this is the identical engine to the ram and possess the same egr and egr cooler, as well as the same intake manifold, which is where the fires have seemingly occurred. The jeep grand cherokees, model years 2014-2016, that utilize the optional ecodiesel engine were not named in the same recall, nor in any subsequent recalls from fca, and the risk of fire should be identical between the two vehicles. I am only assuming that the reason the grand cherokee was excluded, was because it was sold far less frequently with the ecodiesel engine option. If the ram 1500 was recalled for a fire and injury risk, the jeep grand cherokee that's powered by the same engine (and the same fire risk) should also be included under the same recall. It's concerning that a manufacturer admits significant health and safety risks due to a particular engine, but only includes one model that utilizes this engine. I do understand that this was a voluntary recall, but i believe that both vehicle models should be included under this recall, since it relates to the engine, not the specific vehicle utilizing it.
