Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling approximately 317,630 Ram trucks from the 2017-2018 model years, including Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 models. The recall is due to a potential failure in the hydraulic control unit (HCU), which can cause the anti-lock brake (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC), and traction control systems to stop functioning. Dealers will replace the brake HCU or the HCU motor free of charge to restore these safety systems.

Risk

A failure of the hydraulic control unit disables critical safety systems including anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control, which significantly increases the risk of a crash during braking or maneuvers where traction is limited.

What You Should Do

  1. Check if your vehicle is affected by looking for your VIN and contacting FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403; refer to Chrysler recall number C4B.
  2. Watch for interim notification letters, which were mailed to some owners on January 9, 2025, and keep an eye out for final notification letters anticipated by July 2026.
  3. Dealers will replace the brake HCU, or replace the HCU motor, free of charge.
  4. If you have further questions or have not received a letter, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
