On certain vehicles, aftermarket batteries may leak electrolyte onto the ABS control module connector and compromise the sealing integrity of the connector.  This may allow development of a high resistance short circuit in the connector, which could eventually lead to a fire.  Correction:  Dealer will inspect the ABS control module connector for electrolyte damage, and replace the connector as necessary.  All affected vehicles will also have a shield installed to protect the connector from future battery electrolyte leakage.
- [2002107](/recalls/tc/2002107.md), 2002-07-06: Engine. Certain Ram trucks equipped with a diesel engine.
