2014 RAM 1500 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2014 RAM 1500 has 11 recalls, the most serious involving fire risks: EcoDiesel-equipped trucks can develop a cracked EGR cooler that may ignite inside the intake manifold, and on 4x2 diesel models, the battery harness can chafe against the engine mount frame and short, potentially starting a fire or stalling the truck. Several other recalls also apply to the 3.0L diesel engine. A tone wheel on the crankshaft can shed material and cause the engine to stall without warning or prevent a restart. A high-pressure fuel pump can fail and send debris through the fuel system, cutting off fuel delivery and causing a sudden loss of drive power. On the transmission side, certain 4x4 models built within a narrow production window have a transmission case where the park pawl may not fully engage in Park, leaving the truck free to roll away. There are also two airbag concerns: off-road driving or road debris can trigger a fault in the restraint controller and disable the side curtain airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, and on Quad Cab models, the side curtain airbags may not fully cover the C-pillars in a crash, raising the risk of injury to rear-seat occupants.
