Recall Date: May 17, 2018

Safety Issue:

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging.

Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed.

Potential Risk:

Defect Description:

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

Subject: Request for Warranty Coverage Review – Fuel Tank Filling Issue / TSB 14-005-25 I am writing this too you to requesting assistance regarding a persistent issue with my 2018 RAM 1500 SLT (VIN: [XXX] ), which is having difficulty when refueling. The fuel nozzle consistently shuts off prematurely, and in many cases, will not activate the automatic shut-off mechanism. I often have to stand at the pump and manually control the nozzle to refuel the vehicle. As a result, the tank sometimes overfills, spilling gasoline down the side of the truck and onto the ground — posing a serious safety and environmental hazard, including the risk of fire. My mechanic informed me that this issue is covered under Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 14-005-25, dated February 20, 2025, which states that certain RAM 1500 models—including mine—may have a manufacturing defect requiring fuel tank replacement. According to the TSB, this issue affects vehicles with the 5.7L V8 HEMI engine and either a 26 or 32-gallon fuel tank, built on or before March 16, 2020. My vehicle matches these criteria exactly. However, when I took the vehicle to my local Dodge dealership, they informed me that the repair would not be covered under warranty, without providing a clear explanation. Given that this issue is acknowledged by RAM as a manufacturing defect and involves a potential safety hazard, I am seeking clarification and assistance in resolving the issue as suggested by the TSB guidance for known issue. Any help that you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Defect Description:

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

On Arpril 4 2025, after dropping off my kids at daycare I was turning left at a 6 lane intersection and the power steering completely failed while turning. This rendered the truck inoperable and nearly caused a collision and stopped right before ending in a ditch. I turned the truck off and then restarted and the power steering started to operate again. I took the truck to the shop and in route the power steering went out again. I was told at the shop and the dealership this is a known concern, but due to my VIN number it does not fall under the recall that has been issued over the power steering failures. I was never notified of this issue prior to 4/4/2025 .

Defect Description:

STEERING

Potential Consequences:

The abs keeps randomly disabling and then coming back on. When this happens, the cruise control is canceled which causes a sudden change in speed unexpectedly. Also, the 4x4 gets disabled. I believe the issue is this: hydraulic control unit can malfunction, impacting ABS, electronic stability control, and traction control performance software issue in the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) control module that can disable the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.

Mar 31, 2025

Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

While being driven, the ecodiesel engine had a faulty ball bearing that malfunctioned inside the engine. This ball bearing then shot through the middle of the engine and out the bottom of the engine. The service technician at our local dealership inspected the engine and compared this to a "bullet under too much pressure due to a fault within the engine." He then said we "were lucky the ball bearing hadn't shot upwards through the floorboards." Not only could we have been at risk, other passing vehicles could have been shot with the ball bearing; this event could have led to wrecks and possible fatalities. The engine was completely destroyed by this defective ball bearing and cannot be rebuilt. No lights or messages appeared after the ball bearing shot through, even though the oil began draining instantly. The truck was pulled over and turned off before all the oil drained to prevent damage to the engine, which was already destroyed without us knowing.
