Over 1,000 cars affected in Ram Trucks Australia recall
- Replies 0
If you're the proud owner of a Ram 2500 or 3500, you might want to pay close attention.
Ram Trucks Australia has issued a recall due to a potentially dangerous manufacturing defect.
This recall affects over a thousand Ram 2500 and 3500 models that were converted to right-hand drive in Australia between 2021 and 2022.
The culprit behind this recall is a faulty diesel particulate matter sensor.
‘Due to a manufacturing defect, the diesel particulate matter sensor may not have been installed during assembly,’ the company admitted.
This oversight could lead to increased vehicle emissions and blockage of the diesel particulate filter.
But why is this a cause for concern?
According to Ram Trucks Australia, if the diesel particulate filter becomes blocked, it can limit the vehicle's power and performance, potentially leading to engine stalling.
‘A loss in power whilst driving could increase the risk of an accident, causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users,’ they explained.
Ram 2500 or 3500 owners could be driving accidents waiting to happen on the road.
The recall affects a total of 1,294 vehicles. If you're unsure whether your vehicle is part of this recall, you can check the vehicle identification number (VIN) list attached here.
If you find that your vehicle is affected, it's crucial that you act immediately. Contact an authorised Ram dealer to have your ute's diesel particulate matter sensor inspected and, if necessary, replaced.
If you have any further questions or concerns, you can reach out to Ram Trucks Customer Assist on 1300 681 792.
In the case of this Ram recall, the company is offering to inspect and replace the faulty diesel particulate matter sensor.
Vehicle recalls are more common than you might think. They are issued by manufacturers when a model or several models have a defect or do not comply with safety standards. These defects can range from minor issues that pose no immediate danger to serious problems that could potentially lead to accidents, injuries, or even fatalities.
In most cases, the manufacturer will contact the owners of affected vehicles directly.
However, if you've moved or bought the vehicle second-hand, you might not receive this notification. That's why it's important to stay informed about recent recalls, especially those that affect the make and model of your vehicle.
