Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Chrysler is recalling certain 2017-2018 RAM 1500, 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis, 4500 Cab Chassis, and 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles equipped with a column shifter. The vehicles have a defect in the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) system that can occur when the brake pedal is pressed for prolonged periods while the vehicle is running and in PARK. This defect may cause the BTSI pin to stick in the open position, which would allow the transmission to be shifted out of PARK into any gear without pressing the brake pedal or having the key in the ignition.
This condition increases the risk of unintended vehicle rollaway, which may result in personal injury or a crash. To remedy the issue, Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the Body Control Module software and test BTSI operation, replacing the solenoid if necessary. The recall began February 26, 2018. Affected owners should contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall number U11.
