Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Chrysler is recalling certain Ram pickup trucks and cab chassis vehicles from model years 2009-2017 equipped with column shifters. The issue involves the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI), which can malfunction after prolonged brake pedal pressure while the vehicle is running and parked. When this occurs, the transmission can be shifted out of PARK without pressing the brake pedal or having the ignition key inserted, creating a risk of unintended vehicle rollaway that could cause injury or crashes.
Chrysler began notifying owners on February 26, 2018. Dealers will update the vehicle software, inspect the BTSI system, and replace it if necessary at no cost to the owner. Affected consumers should contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall number T79 to schedule service at an authorized dealer.
