Ram recall: Service brakes, hydraulic
Do not drive. NHTSA and the maker advise owners not to drive these vehicles until they are repaired.
What is wrong
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Ram 1500 Classic SLT trucks. Certain vehicles were built without the retaining clip that secures the master cylinder push rod to the brake pedal, which can cause the brake pedal to separate from the brake system.
What could happen
A separated brake pedal can result in the driver being unable to apply the service brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Owners are advised to not drive their vehicles until they receive instructions on the inspection and repair, as necessary. FCA US will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and install the push rod clip, free of charge. The recall began February 9, 2021. Owners may contact FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US number for this recall is Y04.
