FCA US, LLC is recalling more than 8,000 pickup trucks because of a concern that could increase the risk of a driver crashing.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported in an Oct. 6 recall notice that certain Ram vehicles "may be equipped with steering column control modules that can cause a loss of electronic stability control."
Here's what we know about the recall and what car owners should do next.
Which model is affected?
According to the NHTSA, the recall potentially affects 8,329 vehicles. The model included is:
- 2026 Ram 2500 pickup trucks
The recall number is 90D. According to the safety recall report, there is no warning "prior to failure," so "once the (steering column control module) reset occurs, the (electronic stability control) light will illuminate in the instrument
panel cluster."
What should car owners do?
Customers can take their vehicle to the dealership to get the steering column control module replaced at no charge.
Notification letters will be sent out on Nov. 24.
