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 shift column in your vehicle is the part that helps you change gears. It's located on the steering column and has a small pin that keeps you from accidentally shifting out of park. Unfortunately, this pin can get stuck in the wrong position in certain 2011-2017 Ram models.
Risk if Unfixed
If the pin gets stuck, you could shift your vehicle out of park without pressing the brake pedal or turning the key — and that could cause your vehicle to roll away. This could lead to an accident and put you or others at risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your dealership will update the vehicle software, check the pin, and replace it if necessary, all at no cost to you. They'll let you know when the repair is ready and schedule an appointment for you.

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.
