ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:RELAYS/SOLENOIDS

What Happened

The heater grid relay in your Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, or 5500 is a crucial electrical part that helps control the engine. In some 2021-2023 models with a Cummins 6.7L Turbo Diesel engine, a short circuit can occur in this relay.

Risk if Unfixed

If a short circuit happens, the engine compartment could catch fire, even with the ignition on or off. This is a serious risk of injury or damage to your vehicle.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your dealer will replace the faulty relay for free. Park your vehicle outside and away from structures until the repair is done. You'll receive a recall notice with instructions on how to schedule the repair.
