POWER TRAIN Safety Recalls

Critical #17V821000 Plain English
Component

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:LEVER AND LINKAGE:COLUMN SHIFT

Manufacturer
Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
What Happened
The column shift lever in your vehicle connects the gear selector to the transmission. On certain Ram trucks, it could get stuck in the open position if you press the brake pedal for a long time while in PARK.
Risk if Unfixed
If the lever gets stuck, you might be able to shift the transmission out of PARK without pressing the brake pedal or having the key in the ignition. This could cause your vehicle to roll away, potentially leading to an injury or a collision.
Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealer will update the vehicle software and check the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock. If needed, they'll replace it for free. You'll be notified when the repair is ready, and you should schedule it right away.

Original — What Happened
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Ram 3500 Cab Chassis with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of less than 10,000 lbs, 2011-2017 Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles, 2009-2017 Ram 1500 and 2010-2017 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks, all equipped with a column shifter. Pushing the brake pedal for prolonged periods when the vehicle is running and in PARK may cause the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) pin to stick in the open position. With the pin in the open position, the transmission can be shifted out of PARK into any gear without pushing the brake pedal or having the key in the ignition.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.
Original — Remedy
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle software, inspect the BTSI, and, as necessary, replace it, free of charge. The recall began February 26, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is T79.
