Chrysler Group is recalling 230,760 sport utility vehicles across the globe due to a faulty fuel pump that could cause some vehicles to stall or not start.

Chrysler, which now is under the Fiat umbrella, found in an internal review of vehicles that some fuel-pump relays in 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs could become deformed over time, according to a Reuters report.

The automaker will install a new part on affected vehicles that will fix the problem. Chrysler said it did not know of any accidents or injuries that were related to the faulty fuel pump.

The recall affects 188,723 SUVs that were sold in the U.S., 15,898 in Canada, 7,126 in Mexico and 19,013 that weren't sold in North America. It covers the SUVs built from Jan. 25, 2010 through July 20, 2011, USA Today reported.

The carmaker said that its dealers will replace the fuel pump for free starting Oct. 24.

The issue stems from the fuel-pump relay, which is inside an integrated power module that also manages other functions. Chrysler claims that none of the other vehicle functions are affected by this issue.

However, the Center for Auto Safety, an advocacy group founded by Ralph Nader, says Chrysler should be recalling more vehicles because more than 5 million other Chrysler SUVs have the same fuel pump as the recalled models.

"Chrysler should recall them all," said Clarence Ditlow, the center's executive director.

The Center for Auto Safety filed a petition last month requesting that the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration look into power system failures that could cause cars to stall while being driven. This issue is separate from the fuel-pump problem.

The petition claims that millions of Chrysler vehicles, dating to 2007, have an electrical power control module that can malfunction, causing them to stall of lose power while in traffic.

This complaint includes Ram trucks, Chrysler and Dodge minivans, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Dodge Durango and the Dodge Journey. No recalls have been made on these models.
