Recall summary
The Electronic Stability Control system (ESC) is an extension of the anti-lock brakes (ABS) system whose job is to apply brakes to one or more wheels to keep the vehicle on track in slippery conditions or during sudden maneuvers.
Due to a software error, the ABS module may disable the ESC.
Recall risks
With the ESC out of order, the vehicle will be more difficult to control and stop during critical situations, which ups the chances of a crash and injury.
Warning signs
The defect could trigger a corresponding warning light on the dashboard.
Safety tips
While driving with a malfunctioning ESC is possible, you should adjust your speed and steering inputs accordingly.
Other Stellantis recalls
Some of these RAM trucks may have been affected by rearview camera issues, which led to a recall in October 2023.
Durango owners should be aware of a Dodge recall from March 2023 caused by rear spoilers that could separate from the vehicle while driving.
The repair
Dealers will update the ABS control module free of charge.
The owners should receive notifications on July 26, 2024.
