What This Recall Means

Component

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL

What Happened

The diesel fuel heater in your Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, or 5500 is a component that helps warm up the engine when it's cold. It's connected by special electrical wires that could overheat.

Risk if Unfixed

If these wires get too hot, they could start leaking fuel, which could cause a fire. This is a serious risk, especially when you're driving.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your Ram dealer will replace the faulty electrical connector with a new, fire-resistant one, and check the fuel heater for any signs of leaks. They'll do it free of charge, and you should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
