4.8M Vehicles Affected
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. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.

Potential Risk:
If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
FREE Recall Solution:
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. 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. In the event that cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, placing the vehicle in park once it has stopped.
Additional Details:

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

NHTSA Campaign: 18V100000 SAFETY RECALL
180.5K Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: Feb 8, 2018
Safety Issue:

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2017-2018 RAM 1500, 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis, 4500 Cab Chassis, and 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles, 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.
FREE Recall Solution:
Chrysler will notify owners and dealers will update the Body Control Module software. Dealers will also test the BTSI operation, replacing the solenoid as necessary. The recall began February 26, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is U11.

Recall Date: Dec 21, 2017
Safety Issue:

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling various Dodge, Chrysler, and RAM vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V824-0103.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf

Potential Risk:
If the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a fire.
FREE Recall Solution:
Chrysler will notify owners instructing them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began February 14, 2018.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

There seems to be a huge ongoing problem with ABS pumps and control modules for this model vehicle. I can find pages and pages of issues online for the same truck. The 'service brakes' warning comes on and off intermittently and I managed to replicate the fault after several months long enough to get it diagnosed. I am told the following parts are the issue: 68347098 - AB MODULE AN 08035030 68143491- AB CONTROL A 08035030 I got the truck diagnosed in January but was initially told Mid March for the parts and now am being told August - which would mean no functioning ABS on my vehicle for 8 months! And no guarantee the delivery date won't creep again. This is unacceptable for a safety critical component and clearly shows a fundamental flaw with the parts as they can't seem to make them faster than they are failing. I can find many reports of these happening from as early as 14,000 miles and with the replacement parts also failing.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

RAM has a “known issue” with the ABS system, mainly the Hydraulic Control Unit, with the brake systems in at least the 2018 model year heavy duty trucks. They redesigned part number 68143491AA and released a new version, 68143491AB. However this part has been back ordered. I have waited 3 months so far, and have been told earliest to expect the part is August 2023. Others have waited more than a year already. Without the part, the truck rapidly flashes warnings on the dash. Additionally, the ABS, traction control and stability control systems are inoperable. For a 10,000 lb GVW truck with 800+ lb/ft of torque, this makes for dangerous handling for wet roads. I don’t need anything for free, but something should be done to make RAM accountable for the dangerous situation they are forcing on the owners of their vehicles. These parts need to be manufactured quicker and made available for purchase by effected customers ASAP.

I don’t need anything for free, but something should be done to make RAM accountable for the dangerous situation they are forcing on the owners of their vehicles. These parts need to be manufactured quicker and made available for purchase by effected customers ASAP.

Additional Notes:

RAM has a “known issue” with the ABS system, mainly the Hydraulic Control Unit, with the brake systems in at least the 2018 model year heavy duty trucks. They redesigned part number 68143491AA and released a new version, 68143491AB. However this part has been back ordered. I have waited 3 months so far, and have been told earliest to expect the part is August 2023. Others have waited more than a year already.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

My ABS light has been intermittently illuminating my dashboard since December. I took my truck to the dealer on 3/13/23 and it's still there. Per the dealer, it needs an ABS module and the Hydraulic Control Unit. I had already replaced the HCU over a year ago so thankfully it will be covered by the dealer, but the ABS module still needs to be replaced and was told that the HCU won't be available until August. Dodge needs to address this. Obviously, this is an ongoing issue and it's not safe to drive and puts myself, my family, and others in potential danger if the electric brakes aren't performing properly. Also, I was advised by the dealer that the ABS module going out has caused the HCU to go out and is an ongoing issue that they have been seeing with no known cause.

Potential Consequences:

ABS Control Module failed and was replaced with part #68143491AB. Truck was purchased for plowing. Without anti-lock breaks and traction control, myself and passengers were at risk , and my ability to plow more than a few inches of snow was nearly impossible. Living on a dead end private road, plowing for neighbors to access main roads was not possible, putting neighbors and family at risk during winter emergencies. The part was back ordered for several months, delaying the repair and extending risks. The vehicle did provide an alarm to audio alarm of this problem which was a distraction throughout the part backlog period. The cost of the repair to me was $1, 119.95. This should not have occurred on this truck that had less than 40,000 miles.

Potential Consequences:

My 2018 Dodge Ram 2500 has a known faulty issue with the HCU/ABS (hydraulic control unit/Anti-Brake System). My ABS light continues to flash while driving. This problem is very well known with 2017-2018 RAM trucks. The local dealership stated that the part is on backorder till August. This will be $1,000.00 + fix from dealership. This has been an ongoing issue, not just myself but many RAM owners, that happens at various times. The issue occurs at various speeds, when I hit a bump, or when I hit the brakes. This issue needs to be resolved with Dodge Ram and a recall issued.
