Chronology :
- On March 10, 2021, FCA US LLC (“FCA US”) Vehicle Safety and Regulatory Compliance (“VSRC”) opened an investigation into Ram 3500, 4500, and 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles because of reported engine compartment fires, which were determined to be caused by oil leaks initiated by connecting rod failures.
- In March 2021, FCA US examined photographic evidence, witness statements, and vehicle history data related to the field inputs with the supplier to determine potential causes of the engine failures.
- From March 2021, through May 2021, FCA US and the supplier reviewed returned engines, engineering changes to engines built during the period, and conducted oil consumption testing on a group of engines in the lab and in the field. The result of this activity was that the oil life indicator strategy was determined to be insufficient to adequately notify the customer of oil consumption levels.
- As of June 3, 2021, FCA US is aware of four customer assistance records, 56 warranty claims, and 56 field reports potentially related to this issue with dates of receipt ranging from August 27, 2019 to March 29, 2021.
- As of June 3, 2021, FCA US is aware of zero accidents and zero injuries potentially related to this issue.
- On June 03, 2021, FCA US determined, through the Vehicle Regulations Committee, to conduct a voluntary safety recall of the affected vehicles.
