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.

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.

Defect Description:

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The ABS/ Traction control is intermittently failing. It is aviliable for inspection. When the light comes on I have no ABS or Traction control which may cause me to lose control under certain circumstances. The dealer has and the manufacturer has confirmed the problem. The dealership was able to reproduce the issue. The component was inspected by the dealership. There are the ABS/ Traction control light that comes on the dash sometimes. I have been told that the part that needs to be replace is backordered indefinitely and the manufacturer has no idea when they will get any new ones. From what reasearch I have done it looks like they need to reengineer the parts to make them work right. Also told that this is not covered by any recalls which I think is wrong as it is a safety issue that they knew about.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

The brake Brake HCU pump failed at 33,489 miles and was replaced under warranty last year. Now with 45,000 miles I have the same problems occurring and will have to go to the dealer again. The traction control, ABS and cruise control all do not work and the service electronic brakes message flashes on and off. The problem is intermittent. I've read online that the replacement parts are unavailable from the dealer or on a 6-8 month lead time. It seems this is a fairly common failure in the 2018 3500 trucks and Ram needs to find a better fix than a part that lasts 12,000 miles after the original only lasted 33,000 miles.

The traction control, ABS and cruise control all do not work and the service electronic brakes message flashes on and off. The problem is intermittent. I've read online that the replacement parts are unavailable from the dealer or on a 6-8 month lead time. It seems this is a fairly common failure in the 2018 3500 trucks and Ram needs to find a better fix than a part that lasts 12,000 miles after the original only lasted 33,000 miles.

Additional Notes:

The brake Brake HCU pump failed at 33,489 miles and was replaced under warranty last year. Now with 45,000 miles I have the same problems occurring and will have to go to the dealer again. The traction control, ABS and cruise control all do not work and the service electronic brakes message flashes on and off. The problem is intermittent.

Defect Description:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

ABS and traction control lights come on intermittently and a chime sound occurs. When this happens cruise control stops working. Getting a “Service Electronic Braking System” message and “Service Antilock Brake System” message. Had to wait three weeks to get an appointment for dealer to troubleshoot. Dealer said it has code C0020-01 logged. Dealer says the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) has an internal failure that is shorting out the ABS pump control. Dealer stated that part will not be available until February or March of 2024 if not later for repairs. Dealer verbally said to either park the vehicle until part is available or drive it knowing that the ABS braking system may not work properly in case of emergency stop. Dealer said there is no recall for this problem but they are aware of many vehicles with it. I feel there needs to be an immediate recall issued for this problem as it is endangering the public.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

My 2018 3500 Dully with 34,000 miles started having an issue with the ABS, Traction Control and Eletronic Brack control systems. While driving the truck on a trip, the Traction Control, and ABS lights started coming on intermittently and the check Eletronic Brack control came on at the same time and it too flashed intermittently. Also, while this is happening, the cruise control does not work. Took the truck to the dealer, parts are not available until February of 2024. Five months from now. They recommend two parts be replaced, Anti-lock brake system, part number 68347098AB and Control Anti-Lock Brake System Part 68143491AB. I'm being told it will cost around $2,000 for the repairs. The 5-year 100,000 drive train is within the warranty period; however, this is not covered by RAM. For such an expensive truck, I find it disturbing that in the event of such failure It was advised to take the truck into the dealer as soon as possible because the truck with an ABS issue is not drivable and the dealer says its ok to drive it even though all the systems lights are flashing intermittently.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Warning light flashes ABS needs service. It intermittently goes on and off. When it does start to flash it shuts off the cruise control. The ECU also comes on/off. In 2020 Driving in the mountains when it was raining having the cruise control shutting off almost caused an accident. Braking in the rain is also dangerous if the ABS goes out. The truck now has 42,000 miles and we need to have it replaced again This makes this truck very dangerous to drive.
