Stellantis Recalls Over 300,000 Ram Trucks for Braking System Defect

The recall affects 2017-2018 Ram Heavy Duty models with a faulty hydraulic control unit that could compromise key safety systems.

Stellantis is recalling 317,630 Ram Heavy Duty trucks from model years 2017-2018 due to a defective hydraulic control unit.
The defect may disable anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, and traction control, increasing crash risks, though regular braking remains unaffected.
Affected models include the Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500, with most vehicles located in the United States and smaller numbers in Canada, Mexico, and other markets.
No injuries have been reported related to the defect, and repairs will be provided to customers free of charge, with notification letters expected to be mailed by January 9, 2025.
This is the latest in a series of recalls for Stellantis, which has faced declining sales, layoffs, and leadership changes, including the recent resignation of CEO Carlos Tavares.
