Stellantis recalls 1.5M Ram trucks to fix software bug that can disable stability control

[Cbty2050]

Nov 3rd 2024 and still no fix

sad

There are MANY more recalls from Stellantis that don't have a fix yet. This one is nothing compared to the ones that can cause the vehicles to start on fire.

Not sure if you are here experiencing the issue or just being a negative person in general.

Stellantis is recalling nearly 1.5 million Ram pickup trucks worldwide to fix a software problem that can disable the electronic stability control system.

The recall covers certain trucks from the 2019 and 2021 through 2024 model years, mostly in North America.

Stellantis said in a statement Saturday that the trucks may have anti-lock brake software that could inadvertently shut down the stability control, which manages the throttle and brakes to avoid skidding.

If that happens, the company said the brakes would still work. Stellantis said it's not aware of any crashes or injuries from the problem.

U.S. safety standards require electronic stability control to work during nearly all phases of driving, the company says.

Dealers will update software to fix the problem at no cost to owners, who will be notified by letters starting Oct. 3.

Got my notice, called the Dealership and was told the Recall is real, but they do not got what it takes to fix the problem. I do not know if it is a hardware or software problem.. The Dealership told me they would get back to me when they could fix the problem, and I should not be to worried about it, just pump the brakes in hard braking situations to prevent the tires from skidding... Old School stuff.... lol

I received a notice that the recall exists, but at this time there is no fix and I would receive additional communication once a solution is found. I guess it could be because they aren’t ready to service the 2022 yet?

Same for my 2019 (received today). Hasn’t affected me in the past 6 years, thankfully.

Wow

 

[SpeedyV]

Let’s maybe try discussing the thread topic, please.

Got the letter in the mail and notice on the RAM app. Took it in last week to have it updated since we are taking a 1800 mile road trip to areas where snow is possible. Took them an hour to update. Never noticed an issue , but only have 4700 miles on the truck.

ANYONE KNOW IF THE SOFTWARE FOR THE 19-23 ARE AVAILABLE YET> I TOOK MY TRUCK IN TO DEALER A MONTH AGO AND WAS MADE AWARE OF THIS RECALL BUT ADVD THE SOFTWARE WAS NOT SUPPORTED FOR 24 AND BELOW

 

[logboom]

just because it does not affect you is no reason to knock me because I want an issue fixed.

not my problem that as you say. "There are MANY more recalls from Stellantis that don't have a fix yet."

I am sure there are plenty of others out there wondering when this issue is going to be taken care of.

the way the recall reads one may never know you have an issue until you get into a situation when the issue does not work.


this forum is for people to post problems and seek solutions.

if you do not like people asking these questions


GO AWAY!

No need to get snippy

Yikes... Just started reading this thread finally. Brings back memories. The last time someone made baby crying noises at me to taunt me was probably my 5 year old sister when I was 7. I thought it was childish back then.

The fix is available for 23-24 only, no other years as of this am.

Gentlemen. This thread has been cleaned up and the primary irritant is taking a timeout.

If a mod needs to interject again, the thread will get locked and there could be further beatings administered.

Carry on.

I took my 2023 Ram 1500 eTorque in for the abs configuration firmware flash recall a week ago and then 3 days later my check engine light came on, immediately after, the battery light came on. Which from what I understand is a charging issue. I returned my truck to the dealer and they found the generator is not charging. So they called around the nation dealers to find one since the warehouse did not have any in stock. (Concerning). They just installed the new generator yesterday and it is not outputting any charge when it receives the command to do so. At least that is what I was told from the dealer. So they submitted a ticket to some STAR system. I assume that is like a help desk for Dodge technicians?

Maybe a coincidence that 3 days after a firmware flash, this occurs. Sounds to me like either the new generator is faulty from the factory again given the fact that it is receiving a charge signal but nothing outputs. This is my first Dodge truck.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? I only have 39000 miles on it. It worth noting the dealer had mentioned they have replaced a couple of these generators this year.


My embedded firmware experience leads me to ask if there is another micro on the charging system that talks to the abs module and something in the abs module firmware update requires the charging system micro firmware to be updated as well? Although if the charge command is being received at the generator with no output from the generator, seems to be mechanical.

I am sure there is way more to it than I understand but curious.

Thank you in advance.

Considering you are the only person who has commented about an issue after the update, I'm going to say it's just a coincidence. There is probably something else wrong with the e-torque system not allowing it to charge.

I talked to the dealership again Friday as I still don't have it back. They put a new generator in and say it still isn't outputting a charge. First they said it was receiving a signal to charge but now they say they feel it might be the module that controls the generator. So that is a bit contradictory. I assume there is some information being lost in translation with the service rep's interpretation of what the technician is saying.

Either way, they were going to do more testing on Monday to confirm their suspicion of the control module being faulty. Makes me wonder if the other generator was even bad. Also creates lack of confidence in the acting technician. Unless Dodge firmware engineers are not providing good useful error codes. See what happens this week. I will post the results.

Probablem is, most technicians nowadays are only trained to go off what the diagnostic tools tell them. And they have to follow the troubleshooting steps wore for wordz and replace the parts in the order the tool tells them, when it comes to warranty work.

Anyone having ABS code2200-48 software supervision internal problem, as well as EPB switch, and both rear actuators codes going off ? My service parking brake is on, the brake lights flashing and my service brake mode is unavailable. I figured the ABS Module is probably bad? Any feedback?

my '22 is due the 55B recall but my truck works fine and I am leery about taking it in and them screwing up something else so have been putting it off. now I hear that they arent able to do the 2022's yet even tho I get a reminder every week to bring mine in, so what gives.

 

[Yak4fish]

Thought I would follow up on my issue. Ten weeks and one day later replacement antilock brake module showed up. Service representative said two modules were sent then pulled before shipping for some reason. I asked him if this was part being recalled he said he had to run recall update on new module. I did get a refund through ram case worker for truck I rented out of pocket for my hunting trip. They also gave me four free oil change tire rotations for my inconvenience.
Now I'm leery of setting parking brake at all and turned off auto parking brake to be safe.

Your 2500 software is available, the 1500 software is not available.

 

[Cbty2050]

2019 Year trucks have been added for the recall completion. No word on the other years as of yet.
