Welcome to our latest blog post where we bring you important news from the automotive world. Stellantis, a leading automotive company, has announced a recall of nearly 1.5 million Ram pickup trucks worldwide. This recall is aimed at fixing a software problem that can disable the electronic stability control system in these trucks.
The affected trucks are from the 2019 and 2021 through 2024 model years, with a majority of them located in North America. Stellantis identified that the anti-lock brake software in these trucks could inadvertently shut down the stability control, which is responsible for managing the throttle and brakes to prevent skidding.
In the event of this software glitch, Stellantis reassures owners that the brakes will still work. Fortunately, there have been no reported crashes or injuries resulting from this issue. However, U.S. safety standards mandate that electronic stability control must function throughout most driving scenarios.
To address this issue, Stellantis will be issuing software updates free of charge to affected truck owners. Notifications will be sent out via letters starting from October 3rd to inform owners about the recall and the necessary steps to resolve the problem.
At [Company Name], we prioritize the safety and well-being of our customers, and we encourage all Ram truck owners to take action promptly upon receiving the recall notice. Stay tuned for more updates and news from the automotive industry on our blog!
