Stellantis recalls nearly 1.5M Ram trucks over stability issue
Jeep-maker Stellantis is recalling nearly 1.5 million Ram pickup trucks, citing a software issue that affects the electronic stability control system.
The recall covers truck models from 2019 and 2021 through 2024. It’s a worldwide recall but it mostly affects North America, though "certain markets" outside the region will also see impacts.
In a statement Saturday, the vehicle manufacturer said trucks may have anti-locking brake software that could shut down the stability control. The company added that brakes would still work if that happened, but U.S. safety standards require electronic stability control to work in all phases of driving.
If an individual's car is affected, indicator lights will be illuminated during vehicle start up, Stellantis noted in its statement.
Dealers will update the software at no cost, per the company.
The company said it found the issue during a "routine review" of customer feedback.
Owners with affected vehicles will be notified via a letter beginning Oct. 3.
This recall follows several others from Stellantis.
In June, the company recalled nearly 1.2 million vehicles over a glitch that could disable rearview cameras. In February, 330,000 Jeep Grand Cherokees were recalled to fix a steering wheel issue that could cause drivers to lose control of their vehicle. Last October, nearly 237,000 Ram trucks were recalled over a similar rearview camera issue.
