Ram Trucks Australia has recalled 64 examples of the DT-series 1500 pickup, due to a fault which can prevent the driver’s airbag from deploying in a crash.
“Due to a manufacturing defect, the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) may have not been welded to the required specifications,” the carmaker said in its recall notice.
“As a result, the SCCM could fail to send an airbag deployment signal to the Occupant Restraint Controller preventing the driver’s airbag from deploying.
“In the event of an accident, the airbag not deploying as intended could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.”
