Ram 2500 and 3500 recalled

Ram Trucks Australia has recalled 1294 examples of the Ram 2500 and 3500, with a faulty diesel particulate matter sensor potentially leading to a loss of power.

The recall affects Ram 2500 and 3500s converted to right-hand drive in Australia by American Special Vehicles – a partnership between importer Ateco and the Walkinshaw Group – between 2021 and 2022.

“Due to a manufacturing defect, the diesel particulate matter sensor may not have been installed during assembly,” the company says in its recall notice. 

“This could increase vehicle emissions and block the diesel particulate filter. If this occurs it can limit the vehicle power and performance leading to engine stalling.

“A loss in power whilst driving could increase the risk of an accident, causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.”
