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.

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.

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.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

On 10-01-2024, I took my 2018 RAM Truck for service at the Warrensburg, Missouri Dealership. The reason was due to service lights coming on in the truck to tell me the ABS and Electronic Braking System had issues. The dealership service department replaced a faulty HCU and the "Control Anti-Lock Brake System". My truck had 69850 mileage when the service lights came on. This is the second time, the HCU has been replaced due to the same issue in 04-21-2021, when the same truck had 30945 miles. The dealership explained this is due to RAM contracting the HCU part from a manufacture that proved to be bad. They have now changed manufacturer and the new part is being installed. A quick search through the internet shows this is an issue in RAM trucks over the years with two lawsuit in two different states. The loss of the braking systems, especially when hauling trailers and campers can cause serious braking issues. Why has there not been a recall issued on this HCU? Not only unsafe, but not being warrantied by RAM, my repair bill for their error in manufacturer, cost me almost $800.00. Please investigate before a serious accident occurs over many years of these RAM trucks using a faulty HCU.

Potential Consequences:

Currently I own a 2018 RAM 2500. I am the original owner and do regular Maintenace on my truck. The ABS & Traction control light flashes on and off consistently (Very annoying while driving). I have brought my truck to the mechanic and told me I have to wait on a part that is on "National Back Order".... No dealership has the part, and no website has the part. Only place to be found is on eBay used with no warranty they work, or proof they have been refurbished. From what I have been told it is the EBCM. I did research to try and find the part. No where has it, and nowhere to be found. This is where I found out it is a frequent problem over a lot of people. I see RAM has a recall for the same issue with 2019 & newer, but no recalls on the 2013–2018-year model trucks. This truck is my everyday driver, and I need it fixed....
