2017 RAM 1500 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2017 RAM 1500 has 8 recalls, the most serious involving fire risks from multiple sources: a cracked EGR cooler that can ignite combustion inside the intake manifold, and a broken fuel tank control valve that can leak fuel in a rollover. Several recalls only affect trucks equipped with the 3.0L diesel engine. On those models, a crankshaft position sensor component can delaminate and cause the engine to stall without warning, and a high-pressure fuel pump can shed internal debris into the fuel system, cutting fuel flow and causing sudden loss of drive power. There is also a differential pin retaining screw that can loosen while driving, causing the differential to break or lock up and leaving the driver with no power to the wheels or an abrupt loss of control. On the shifter side, the brake-transmission shift interlock can fail on column-shifted models, potentially allowing the transmission to shift out of park without the brake pedal pressed. A power locking tailgate on certain bed configurations can unlatch and swing open at speed, dropping cargo onto the road.
