The Jeep 552 83 099 is a 2,987 cc, V6 turbo‑diesel engine produced between 2014 and 2019. It features a 60‑degree V6 layout with dual overhead camshafts and a variable geometry turbocharger (VGT), delivering robust low‑end torque suitable for towing and off‑road applications. In standard form it produced 184 kW (250 PS) and 600 Nm of torque, an evolution of the earlier 552 63 113 variant.
Fitted primarily to the WK2 Grand Cherokee and the Dodge Durango, this engine was engineered for drivers demanding maximum performance from a diesel powertrain. Emissions compliance was achieved through a high‑pressure common rail system, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and a diesel particulate filter (DPF), meeting Euro 6 standards.
A documented concern is potential failure of the EGR cooler, which can lead to coolant contamination and overheating. This issue, referenced in Fiat Powertrain Service Bulletin 09-015-17, is often linked to thermal cycling stress on the cooler core. Minor ECU calibration updates were implemented during the production run to optimize DPF regeneration cycles.
All production years 2014–2019 meet Euro 6 emissions standards (VCA UK Type Approval #VCA/EMS/5679).
The Jeep 552 83 099 is a 2,987 cc V6 turbo-diesel engineered for large SUVs (2014–2019). It combines a high-pressure common-rail fuel system with a variable-geometry turbocharger to deliver strong, sustained torque for towing and off-road use. Designed to meet Euro 6 standards, it prioritizes power and emissions compliance.

The V6 configuration and VGT provide abundant torque ideal for heavy towing but demand strict adherence to 10,000-15,000 km oil change intervals using MS-10902 (5W-40) to protect the turbocharger and emissions systems. Ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) meeting EN 590 standards is mandatory. The EGR/DPF system requires periodic highway driving for passive regeneration; failure can lead to reduced power. ECU updates addressed early DPF regeneration frequency.
Oil Specs: Requires MS-10902 (5W-40) specification (Fiat Powertrain SIB 09-015-17). Equivalent to ACEA C3.
Emissions: Euro 6 certification applies to all model years 2014–2019 (VCA Type Approval #VCA/EMS/5679).
Power Ratings: Measured under SAE J1349 standards. Output is consistent across all applications (Stellantis Group PT-2021).

The Jeep 552 83 099 was used in Jeep and Dodge large SUV platforms with longitudinal mounting. This engine is a direct successor to the 552 63 113, featuring updated ECU calibrations and emissions hardware for Euro 6 compliance. No major platform-specific mechanical revisions were introduced. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Locate the engine code stamped on the left-side cylinder block near the front engine mount (Fiat Powertrain TIS FPT-8901). The 8th VIN digit for Jeep applications is typically '8' for this 3.0L diesel. Visually, it is identical to the 552 63 113 but can be differentiated by its ECU software version and emissions label under the hood, which will specify Euro 6 compliance. The EGR cooler assembly is a common failure point and may have been replaced under service bulletin 09-015-17. Service parts are generally interchangeable with the 552 63 113, but emissions-related components are specific to this Euro 6 variant.
The 552 83 099's primary reliability risk is EGR cooler failure, with elevated incidence in vehicles subjected to frequent short trips or extreme thermal cycling. Fiat Powertrain SIB 09-015-17 documents this as a leading cause of coolant-related warranty claims, while owner reports frequently cite overheating. Preventative inspection of the EGR cooler and adherence to highway driving cycles for DPF regeneration are critical.
