Recall – Chrysler - Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty pickup trucks

 

Today Chrysler has voluntarily recalled over 186,000 diesel powered Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 Heavy Duty pickup trucks. Model Year 2007 through 2009

This recall includes all trucks equipped with 6.7-liter Cummins diesel engines that falsely illuminate the check engine warning under certain conditions, causing the engine to produce large amount of soot that could possibly damage the turbocharger, exhaust gas recirculation valve and diesel particulate filter and result in increased emissions.

To solve this issue, dealers will update the engine control module firmware. The upload and diagnostic could take about an hour to complete.
