2019 RAM 4500Transport Canada Recall #2020396
Defect
On certain chassis cab trucks equipped with a Cummins 6.7 L high-output engine, a software problem could cause damage to the connecting rod bearings while the engine is warming up. As a result, a connecting rod could break and cause an engine failure. If this happens, oil could leak onto hot components in the engine compartment. Note: A driver may notice abnormal engine noise if a connecting rod fails.
Safety Risk
A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, an engine failure could create the risk of a fire.
Remedy
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer to update the engine calibration software. This will add enhanced engine warm-up protection.
