Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 05:31 · Archive

Ram Trucks Australia is recalling over 600 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups due to a brake system defect.

Ram Trucks Australia is recalling over 600 examples of the Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 due to an issue affecting their brakes. The brake Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) may fail or malfunction, causing the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Traction Control System to not operate as intended.

The company warned in its recall notice that the fault could result in reduced braking performance and loss of vehicle control. Such a failure could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.

Replacement parts for the fix are due to arrive imminently. Once available, Ram Trucks Australia will contact affected owners in writing and advise them to schedule an appointment with an authorised dealer to have the vehicle rectified, free of charge.
