Chrysler Announces Recall for 76,000 Dodge Ram Trucks over Flaw in Brakes


Chrysler has announced a recall on about 76,000 Dodge Ram trucks, following a bulletin issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration saying that some of these models may be affected with a flawed braking system.

The issue concerns the power steering in the pickup which could cause a delay in the returning of brake pedal. The automaker has included Ram trucks from the 2010 and 2011 model years assembled between March 2009 and October 2010 in the recall, which affects about 76,112 units of the pickup.
The NHTSA reported that some of the Rams using a diesel engine and a hydroboost brake system could be equipped with a faulty power steering reservoir cap whose excessive vent pressure levels may result in brake pedals return slowly after being applied.
The fault also stands to affect cars following the Rams owing to the rear brake lights taking longer than usual to turn off, which increases the risk of a crash. The automaker has confirmed that it has received 175 reports till date. Chrysler spokesman Vince Muniga said there have been no crashes or injuries reported though. He said the problem was first noticed by dealers and a modified cap will relieve some of the pressure causing the problem.
Chrysler plans to start notifying owners of the recall soon, after which the dealers will replace the power steering reservoir cap free of charge. Ram owners can contact the automaker at (800) 853-1403. However, the affected pickup owners will probably have to wait till February to have the fix done.
