New recall includes 229,000 newer Dodge Ram trucks.


MLive (MI) (2/26, 732K) reports that Fiat Chrysler Automotive issued a recall for 229,000 model year 2017 and 2018 Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 series pickups, because of a “risk the vehicles could shift out of park without the ignition engaged or a foot on the brake.” In December 2017, FCA issued a recall for 1.8 million other Ram pickup trucks. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration warns that “if the brake pedal is pushed in for too long while running and in park, a pin could become stuck in the open position and increase the risk of a rollaway.” The recall is scheduled to start March 30, with dealers making repairs at no cost to customers.
