RAM  **Fire Risk**

February 15, 2023 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is recalling an estimated 306,165 U.S.-market vehicles to replace an electrical connector.
 
An FCA US investigation discovered the intake heater-grid relays on certain vehicles may exhibit overheating. In rare instances, this condition may pose a fire risk.
 
The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. There are reports of six potentially related fires – five occurred while the vehicles’ engines were still on; the remaining incident was reported after the ignition was turned off.
 
Affected are certain model-year Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups, and 3500/4500/5500 cab chassis trucks from model years 2021-2023. The recall population is limited to vehicles equipped with 6.7-liter Cummins diesel engines and prior-generation heater-grid relays, which were the focus of two previous but smaller campaigns.
 
Despite the minimal risk, the Company advises custodians of these models, not to park their vehicles indoors.
 
FCA expects to begin notifying affected customers next month. But as of Feb. 16, customers may determine if their vehicles are included in the campaign by inputting their Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) on search engines such as mopar.com/recalls, checktoprotect.org, or www.nhtsa.gov.
