What This Recall Means

Component

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

What Happened
The Solid State Intake Heater Grid Relay in your Ram truck is a critical electrical component that helps keep your engine running smoothly. In some 2021 models with the 6.7L Turbo Diesel engine, this relay could develop a short circuit, which could cause a fire.
Risk if Unfixed
If the relay fails, it could start a fire in your truck, posing a serious risk of injury from burns or other accidents.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your dealership will inspect the relay and replace it if necessary, and if another recall is still open, they'll add insulation to prevent future issues. This repair is free, so schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice and don't park your truck near other vehicles or in enclosed spaces until it's fixed.
