Latches/locks/linkages, tailgate, latchMay 9, 2019
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks equipped with an 8 foot bed and a power locking tailgate. Chrysler is also recalling all 2013-2014 and 2018 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks built before April 1, 2018 with a 6 or 8 foot bed and a power locking tailgate. On August 29, 2019 Chrysler expanded the recall to include an additional 693,128 model year 2013-2014 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks. The tailgate actuator limiter tab may fracture and cause the tailgate to unlatch and open while driving.
If the tailgate opens while the vehicle is being driven, cargo may fall out the vehicle and create a road hazard, increasing the risk of crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will repair the tailgate latch, free of charge. The recall began May 23, 2019. Chrysler is expected to notify owners of the expanded population on October 18, 2019. Owners may contact FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US's number for this recall is V44. Note: 2015-2017 MY Ram 1500 pickup trucks with truck beds other than 8 foot, are currently covered under NHTSA recall 18V-486 for this issue.

Power train, automatic transmission, lever and linkage, column shiftDec 20, 2017
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.
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.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle software, inspect the BTSI, and, as necessary, replace it, free of charge. The recall began February 26, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is T79.

Air bagsMay 9, 2017
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and 2014-2016 Ram 3500 vehicles. Certain driving conditions, such as driving off-road or debris striking the vehicle may cause the roll rate sensor to trigger a fault within the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). If this fault occurs, the rollover side curtain air bag and the seat belt pretensioner will be disabled from deploying.
If the rollover side curtain air bags and seat belt pretensioners are disabled, there is an increased risk of injury to the vehicle occupants in the event of a crash that necessitates activation of these safety systems.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the ORC software, free of charge. The recall began June 26, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is T25.

EquipmentMay 16, 2016
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling aftermarket Mopar Canvas Seat Covers for certain 2012-2016 RAM 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks. These Mopar canvas seat covers were sold through Chrysler dealerships beginning October 15, 2015. The seat covers can impede the deployment of the seat thorax airbags.
If the seat cover impedes the air bag deployment, the seat thorax air bags may not provide adequate protection in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of a injury.
Chrysler will notify owners to remove the front seat covers and return them for a full refund. The recall began on July 1, 2016. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S30.

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500, 2015 Chrysler 200, Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Challenger, 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, and Dodge Durango, and 2013-2015 Dodge Viper vehicles. The affected vehicles are equipped with radios that have software vulnerabilities that can allow third-party access to certain networked vehicle control systems.
Exploitation of the software vulnerability may result in unauthorized remote modification and control of certain vehicle systems, increasing the risk of a crash.
Chrysler will notify and mail affected owners a USB drive that includes a software update that eliminates the vulnerability, free of charge. Optionally, owners may download the update to their own USB drive from http://www.driveuconnect.com/software-update/ or take their vehicle to a Chrysler dealer for immediate installation. In an effort to mitigate the effects of this security vulnerability, Chrysler has had the wireless service provider close the open cellular connection to the vehicle that provided unauthorized access to the vehicle network. This measure may not have been implemented on all vehicles and does not address access by other means that will be remedied by the software update. The recall began on August 25, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is R40.

The affected vehicles have a steering wheel wiring harness that may rub against the driver air bag module retainer spring.
This abrasion may result in an electrical short that could cause driver's frontal air bag to unexpectedly deploy. Inadvertent deployment of the air bag may increase the risk of injury and the possibility of a vehicle crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect, repair as necessary, and secure the steering wheel wiring harness. Additionally, protective caps will be added to the air bag retainer spring ends. These repairs will be done free of charge. The recall began on September 18, 2015.

Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2013 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks manufactured September 9, 2012, through March 5, 2013 and equipped with optional premium tail lamps. In the affected vehicles, the turn signal indicator may not flash at a double rate to give a notification to the driver of a turn signal malfunction. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Without a warning that the turn signal is malfunctioning, the driver would continue to use the vehicle, unaware that other drivers on the road are not being notified that the vehicle is turning, increasing the risk of a crash.

AS SOON AS I START THE ENGINE, A LOUD TICKING NOISE IS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. AFTER INSPECTING IT, I HAVE BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT THAT CAUSES EXHAUST TO EXIT AT THE HEAD. THE EXHAUST ESCAPES BEFORE IT REACHES THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THE MUFFLER THUS CAUSING THE LOUD NOISE. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE RAM HEMI ENGINES. IT IS COMMONLY KNOWN AS THE "HEMI TICK". ALTHOUGH THIS HAS BEEN A WIDELY KNOWN ISSUE, RAM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO REACH UNDER BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SEATS AND SQUEEZE THE CONNECTORS TOGETHER TO TURN OFF THE WARNING INDICATOR. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE DETECTED FROM THE VEHICLE. WHEN INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED A LEAK FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SPARTANBURG CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1035 N CHURCH ST, SPARTANBURG, SC 29303, (888) 404-4925) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

REAR-MOST PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT BROKE; IT SHEARED OFF AT THE HEAT SHIELD, CAUSING A LOUD TICK-LIKE NOISE EMITTING FROM AREA. ADDITIONALLY, EXHAUST FUMES ENTER INTO THE CABIN AS A RESULT OF THIS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT HAS BROKEN (SHEARED OFF) ON MY TRUCK; THE FIRST TIME IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY; NOW, THE REPAIR PRICE QUOTE IS APPROX $800 BECAUSE OF THE EXPECTED TIME TO REMOVE THE BROKEN BOLT. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AMONG RAM 5.7L V8-POWERED TRUCKS. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING THE CABIN, AND A QUALITY DEFECT ARISING FROM POOR QUALITY COMPONENTS AND/OR IMPROPER TORQUING OF THE BOLTS DURING ASSEMBLY. FCA NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS! THE OLD SAYING, "IF YOU TAKE CARE OF YOUR VEHICLE, IT WILL LAST" IS NOT TRUE FOR RAM TRUCKS BECAUSE OF POOR QUALITY CONTROL, SUBPAR PART QUALITY AND IMPROPER ASSEMBLY.

I IMMEDIATELY PULLED BACK INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ALL BUT IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE IN ANY DIRECTION. THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 30K MILES ON IT. MY ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT AT LEAST 44 OTHER 2013 RAM1500 TRUCKS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A LATENT SAFETY ISSUE AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE ALREADY ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. WILL IT TAKE A PERSON, OR PERSONS, BEING KILLED AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT IS ADDRESSED? ADDITIONALLY, THE REPAIR COSTS FOR THIS ISSUE HAVE VARIED FROM $1800-$2700 TO CONSUMERS OWNING THESE TRUCKS. CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT BE HAVING TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. NOR SHOULD THESE COMPONENTS BE GOING "BAD" ON A VEHICLE WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE.
