Recall Date: Dec 20, 2017
Safety Issue:

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Ram 3500 Cab Chassis with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of less than 10,000 lbs, 2011-2017 Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles, 2009-2017 Ram 1500 and 2010-2017 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks, all equipped with a column shifter. Pushing the brake pedal for prolonged periods when the vehicle is running and in PARK may cause the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) pin to stick in the open position. With the pin in the open position, the transmission can be shifted out of PARK into any gear without pushing the brake pedal or having the key in the ignition.

Potential Risk:
Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.

Defect Description:

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

While driving almost complete loss of steering. Very hard to turn. After a battery reset, it corrected, but very short lived. I was able to get the vehicle home, but has been undriveable since. Now there is absolutely no steering at all, the rack and pinion is completely locked. The only warning light is the "service power steering" light on the dash, no codes in the computer. Through research, I found that there is a known issue with the computer board on the rack and pinion which is known to cause this problem. The only solution is to replace the rack and pinion with a new one. There is already a recall for vehicles that predate mine, but mine is not included. I have just ordered a new rack and pinion and am having it replaced, but there is a significant core charge, so I will not be keeping the old one.

Potential Consequences:

Issue with the relay controlling the fuel pump located in the fuel tank(lift pump) When the relay stop working, the engine cannot be started or don't supply fuel to the High pressure fuel pump (HPFP) forcing to stop on the road. Could lead seriously to an unsafe situation like the HPFP can do. This issue can be reproduce easily by the dealer. No DTC or check engine ON for this type of issue. The dealer fix it yesterday and the damage was under the TIPM (Total integrated Power Module) The wires connectors under the relay were melted by overheat. This issue lead to an OFF and ON electrical contact between the fuel pump and the relay. This issue is largely documented over internet and can be fix for under 200$ usd with an external relay. But the first FCA option is to replace the TIPM board for 1200$ usd. Actually no recall for this major issue present in many FCA models since many years. The first time this issue happend was december 20, 2024. The date of repair is february, 12 2025. Between those two dates, I got the crank nostart problem many times.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

I lost power steering and hard to steer. I looked at fuses and f78 looked to be good. I made an appointment with Dodge dealer and when I was going to bring it steering worked. Now I need to wait to see if this issue happens again and this is dangerous while driving. There should be a recall on Module that causes this. I’ve read where this is common. We shouldn’t have to drive a vehicle with a known problem as you all are investigating this issue. Thank you!

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

I have been waiting 6 or more months for an ABS control module (part # 68295368AC) for my 2016 Ram 1500 (vin [XXX]). I cannot locate a new one at any dealer I have called as they all say the part is back ordered and they have no idea when it will be available. It seems to me that if the part has been unavailable for over six months then many trucks are having the same problem which would indicate faulty manufacturing and thus should be recalled. Driving this vehicle with this module not functioning properly disables the traction control as well as the ABS but I am forced to drive it as I have no other vehicle that I can drive while this one sits in the driveway waiting for a part that no one knows when it will be available. I hope you are able to help me convince Mopar that they need to replace the part at their expense ASAP or provide a replacement vehicle in the meantime.

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

I am having continuous problems with electric power steering! I’ve taken truck to local dealership! Hights dodge! Madison Maine! Had it inspected while under warranty! Was told no issues with it they claimed they cleaned the connections and claimed that it was working with no issues!! As soon as I left the dealership it started acting up again! The steering wheel will actually get stopped and extremely hard to turn! Almost caused several accidents! The power steering is always intermittent! But dealership says there’s nothing wrong with it! This problem could have been resolved while it was still under extended warranty! They chose not to do anything! Now it’s out of warranty I’m expected to pay for repairs now! For the same problem that I reported and had looked at by dealership! This vehicle has only 88k on it the power steering should work!! Vehicle shows no codes! Does not indicate any issues! Try to drive it and it’s like trying to steer a truck from the 50’s with no power steering! I’ve talked with many people with same vehicle they all report same issue with electric power steering not functioning properly!! It will end up causing injuries or death when the power steering decides it doesn’t want to work!!! Accidents will happen no doubt!!’

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

My truck was in the dealer for a 66A recall on the crankshaft positioning sensor. The recall states the magnetic material attached to the tone wheel if lost the engine loses its ability to synchronize injector pulse and cam timing. The fix was a PCM reprogram to maintain engine operation if signal is lost. There is a prior recall W68 which address the tone ring for replacement on 2014-2016 model code DS W68 states loss of crankshaft position. the fix under this recall is to replace tone wheel and crank shaft positioning sensor. Because they could lose magnetic material on the tone wheel causing loss of signal from the crankshaft positioning sensor to the PCM. my truck loss power and showed throttle positioning sensor fault and engine light came on . i brought my vehicle into the dealer they diagnosed code po336-00 crankshaft positioning sensor performance. on further inspection found tone wheel has chunk of material missing causing code. they replaced tone wheel as instructed by W68 recall so why is my truck not covered under this recall for the exact same problem.

Defect Description:

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The ABS Control Module has failed. This module controls the ABS, TCS, Cruise Control and leaves the BRAKE light on on the dash. This problem has been diagnosed by the dealership. The part has been discontinued by MOPAR and there are currently no indications of inventory being replenished by a MOPAR part manufacturer or 3rd party manufacturer. Without this, the vehicle no longer has required safety features available for the safe operation of manufacturer specs. The warning lights are operational. The availability of the part is out of stock indefinetly. There has been no indication of a potential solution by the manufacturer. Through repeated attempts to contact Stellantis about this issue, no guidance has been given, only "we're sorry" and "continue to wait for part availability." This issue needs escalation as the manufacturer is not showing, in good faith, that there is something being done to resolve the supply issue and is acting as they are content with the vehicle being in a less than safe state.
