Chrysler Recalls 380,000 Trucks over Fuel-Heater Housing Issue
Published at | Updated at
Chrysler(AUBURN HILLS, Mich.) — Chrysler is recalling 381,876 trucks worldwide over an issue with fuel-heater housings that could lead to a fire.
The affected vehicles are mostly in the U.S. and include 2010-2014 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups along with 4500 and 5500 chassis cabs equipped with 6.7-liter Cummins diesel engines.
In a statement Wednesday, the automaker says a terminal connector near the fuel heater in these vehicles “may be subject to friction-induced corrosion. This condition may lead to overheating and potential fuel leakage.”
So far, Chrysler is aware of two cases regarding this issue. In both cases, the fuel-heater housings showed signs of overheating but no fires were reported. There have also been no injuries or accidents connected to this recall.
Owners of affected vehicles will be notified and will have faulty parts replaced free of charge.
