Chrysler will be asking owners of certain 2010-2014 RAM trucks equipped with diesel Cummins engines, to return their vehicles to their dealership to repair a safety defect with the fuel system wire harness. An engineering analysis found that the terminals on the fuel heater connector could overheat and deform, possibly leading to failure of the O-ring that seals the fuel heater assembly. If the connector overheats, the fuel heater could leak, increasing the chance of an engine fire.
The RAM trucks affected by this defect include:
Chrysler dealers will replace the connector with a service kit, inspect the fuel heater for leaks, and replace any damaged parts as necessary. Owners wanting more information about the defect are asked to contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler’s recall number is P65 and the NHTSA campaign number is 14V-635.
