Ram Australia recalls several 1500 DT units for technical errors
- Replies 1
As we navigate the roads of life, safety is paramount, especially when it comes to our vehicles.
That's why those who own utes must be aware of recalls that could impact their safety on the road.
Ram Trucks Australia issued a recall for 30 examples of the 1500 DT ute, popular for its strength and durability.
According to Ram, a software glitch in the steering column control module (SCCM) could cause the turn signal lever to remain active.
This could remain active even after the steering wheel has completed its rotation.
This might seem like a minor hiccup, but the implications are serious.
'If the turn signal indicators do not operate as intended, other road users may be unable to identify if the vehicle is turning,' Ram Trucks Australia wrote in the official notice.
'This could increase the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to the vehicle occupants and other road users.'
Ram stated that the recalled vehicles were produced from 2020 to 2023.
Ram 1500 DT ute owners may check the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) list provided by Vehicle Recalls Australia.
Owners of the affected utes should schedule an appointment with an authorised Ram dealer to have the SCCM inspected.
Affected vehicles will be checked and replaced if necessary at no cost.
Ram Trucks' Customer Assist hotline is also available at 1300 681 655.
Ram Trucks' customer service team can provide additional information and guide owners through the recall and repair process.
These are some of the precautions Ram Trucks Australia is taking to ensure the safety and satisfaction of its customers.
Vehicles are more than just a means of transportation; they are a part of independence and lifestyle.
It's always better to be safe than sorry, especially when it comes to the vehicles that carry us and our loved ones.
