What Happened
The water pump in your Ram truck's engine is a crucial part that helps keep your engine cool. In some 2013-2017 models with Cummins engines, this pump may not have a small hole that's supposed to be there.
Risk if Unfixed
If the water pump starts leaking coolant, it could cause an engine compartment fire while you're driving or parked, which could lead to serious injury or damage to your vehicle.
Free Fix
Your Ram dealer will replace the faulty water pump with a new one that has the necessary vent hole, and it will be done at no cost to you. Just wait for the recall notice and schedule the repair.
