Component
STEERING:STEERING CONTROL MODULE
Manufacturer
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
What Happened
The steering column control module is a computer that helps control your vehicle's lights and signals. In some 2023-2024 Ram models, this module can get confused and cause your high beams to turn on when you signal a turn, or your turn signals to stay on when you're not using them.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, you might confuse other drivers or pedestrians, making it harder to stay safe on the road. The risk of a crash is higher because your signals and high beams won't be working correctly.
Free Fix
Your Ram dealer will update the steering column control module's software and replace the module if needed, all at no cost to you. Just schedule the repair when you get your recall notice.
