Has anyone, who has their new Ram, been contacted about the recall?


Report Receipt Date: 05-17-2018
NHTSA Campaign: 18V332000
Manufacture: Chrysler (FCA US LLC)

Summary:
Chrysler (fca Us Llc) Is Recalling Certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger And Durango, Ram 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more Than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis And 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee And Grand Cherokee And Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 Ram 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 Ram 3500 Cab Chassis (less Than 10,000 Lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica And 2018 Jeep Wrangler Vehicles. These Vehicles Are Being Recalled To Address A Defect That Could Prevent The Cruise Control System From Disengaging. If, When Using Cruise Control, There Is A Short Circuit Within The Vehicle's Wiring, The Driver May Not Be Able To Shut Off The Cruise Control Either By Depressing The Brake Pedal Or Manually Turning The System Off Once It Has Been Engaged, Resulting In Either The Vehicle Maintaining Its Current Speed Or Possibly Accelerating.

Consequence:
If The Vehicle Maintains Its Speed Or Accelerates Despite Attempts To Deactivate The Cruise Control, There Would Be An Increased Risk Of A Crash.

Remedy:
Chrysler Will Notify Owners, And Dealers Will Inspect The Software, And Perform A Software Flash On The Engine Or Powertrain Control Module, Free Of Charge. The Recall Began June 4, 2018. Owners May Contact Chrysler Customer Service At 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners Are Advised To Stop Using Cruise Control Until The Software Update Has Been Performed. In The Event That Cruise Control Cannot Be Disengaged While Driving, Owners Should Firmly And Steadily Apply The Brakes And Shift The Transmission To Neutral, Placing The Vehicle In Park Once It Has Stopped.
 
Got the letter for my 16', I would be surprised if I have to have the same update done on my 19' whenever it arrives... you think anything built in the last month would be updated.
 
This has been out for a good amount of time now
 
Be mindful they are building 2019 Ram Classics (DS).
They are not out yet (new DS Rams currently for sale are 2018s). They wouldn't be included in the recall as Chrysler would fix them before delivering to dealers and there are no vehicles to actually recall.

You would think they would fix them. Heck they still trying to fix the gas tank(32 Gallon) and the headlight flickering 2013+
 
I know we read about this a few months ago but I have not received an ACTUAL notice in the mail....im pretty sure at least..I get a "your jeep is going to blow up" notice on my traded 2015 grand Cherokee about once a week for the last 3 years. The thing was pretty flawless so I never took it in.
 
Got the letter in the mail for my '16 last week. I'm going to have to book it in soon as I'm taking a 6000KM trip next month and will be taking the truck.
 
I just got a letter for my 17 SRT Jeep. 22K miles and not a single problem with the adaptive cruise control:unsure:....like going faster is a problem, jk.
 
my wife got the recall last monday for her 17 GC summit. got it done the next day.
