Ram Trucks Australia recalls 658 2017-18 2500 and 3500 pickups over brake fault
Ram Trucks Australia is recalling 658 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks built in 2017-18 because a brake hydraulic control unit may fail, affecting ABS, ESC and traction control.
Ram Trucks Australia announced a safety recall affecting 658 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks manufactured during the 2017-2018 model years. The issue stems from a possible failure of the brake hydraulic control unit, which could disable the anti-lock braking system, electronic stability control and traction control functions. Such a loss of braking capability may lead to reduced stopping power and loss of vehicle control, raising the likelihood of crashes that could injure occupants or other road users.
A VIN list and the original recall notice have been made available. The company expects replacement parts shortly and will contact affected owners to arrange free repairs at authorized service centers.
