Component

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL

Manufacturer
Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
What Happened
The water pump in your RAM's diesel engine is a crucial part that helps keep your engine cool. In some 2013-2017 models, the pump might not have a small hole that allows air to escape, causing it to leak coolant.
Risk if Unfixed
If the water pump leaks coolant, it could increase the risk of a fire in your engine compartment. This is a serious issue that could cause significant damage or even injury.
Free Fix
Your dealership will replace the faulty water pump with a new one that has the necessary vent hole, and this repair is completely free. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
