1.5 million Ram pickup trucks are being recalled by Stellantis over a software issue that may accidentally disable a vehicle's electronic stability control (ESC).
Stellantis, an automotive manufacturer, is recalling around 1.5 million Ram pickup trucks due to a software issue that can disable a vehicle's electronic stability control . In a statement obtained by Reuters on Saturday, Stellantis explained that the affected pickup trucks' anti-lock brake software may accidentally shut down the vehicles' ESC. ESC systems are designed to prevent cars from losing control by controlling the vehicles' throttles and brakes when skidding is detected.
Stellantis clarified that the affected vehicles' brakes would still work if an issue were to arise with the software, and said that there have been no reported injuries or crashes related to the recall. Owners of affected Ram vehicles will be notified via mail starting on October 3, Stellantis said. The issue is fixable at Ram dealerships at no cost to owners.
