| 2017659 | 2017-12-21. Powertrain. On certain vehicles equipped with a steering column gear shifter, the brake transmission shift interlock (BTSI) may become inoperative. This could allow the steering column gear shifter lever to be shifted out of the PARK (P) position without depressing the service brake pedal or having the key in the ignition, which could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect and replace the BTSI as necessary. The Body Control Module (BCM) will also be updated. |
| 2017441 | 2017-09-13. Engine. On certain vehicles equipped with 6.7 litre diesel engines, the water pump could fail. This could result in an underhood fire causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the water pump with a new one. |
| 2017250 | 2017-05-10. Airbag. On certain vehicles equipped with Occupant Restraint Controllers (“ORC”) with roll rate sensing, under certain external conditions, a fault may be set relating to rollover sensing that will illuminate the airbag warning light and disable rollover sensing until the vehicle is restarted. A loss of airbags and seatbelt pretensioner deployment when warranted during a rollover crash may increase the risk of injury to vehicle occupants. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the ORC. |
| 2016214 | 2016-05-12. Accessories. *** This notice is provided for information purposes only as the subject equipment is not regulated under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act *** Certain Mopar canvas seat covers, sold as aftermarket parts, may not be compatible with vehicles equipped with seat thorax airbags and could impede deployment.

Correction: FCA Canada will notify owners who may have purchased the Mopar Canvas Seat Covers, and advise them to remove the covers and return them for a refund. |
| 2015383 | 2015-08-27. Suspension. On certain vehicles, the front suspension track bar frame bracket may have been improperly welded during the manufacturing process. As a result, bracket welds may break and allow the bracket to separate from the frame rail. A separated front suspension track bar frame bracket will cause diminished steering response, which could affect vehicle handling and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the front suspension track bar frame bracket. For vehicles found without a separated front suspension track bar frame bracket and/or cracked weld(s), additional support brackets will be installed. For vehicles found with a separated front suspension track bar frame bracket and/or cracked weld(s), a new front suspension track bar frame bracket will be welded to the frame. |
| 2015330 | 2015-07-22. Airbag. On certain vehicles equipped with Electronic Vehicle Information Centers, the steering wheel wiring harness may wear against the driver frontal airbag retainer spring, potentially resulting in an electrical short which could cause unintended driver frontal airbag deployment. Unintended airbag deployment, in a non-warranted (non-impact) situation, could result in injury and increase the risk of a vehicle crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will secure the wiring harness and add protective caps to the retainer spring. |
| 2015326 | 2015-07-22. Airbag. On certain 4-door pickup vehicles, the software in Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) module may contain side impact calibrations that are overly sensitive. This could result in unintended deployment of the Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC), seat airbag, and/or seatbelt pre-tensioner during certain driving conditions, which could startle the driver and result in a vehicle crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will update the ORC module calibration. |
| 2014449 | 2014-10-09. Fuel System. On certain vehicles equipped with 6.7L diesel engines, an electrical connection at the fuel heater could overheat, potentially rendering the heater inoperative and causing a fuel leak and fuel odour. Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the fuel heater, and replace it if required, as well as replace the fuel heater wiring harness electrical connector. |
| 2014369 | 2014-09-02. Other. Certain vehicles may not comply with Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations. The compliance label may not bear tire size, type, load rating and pressure information, contrary to requirements. Note: Correct information is displayed on the tire information placards, located in close proximity to the compliance label. Correction: A production change has been undertaken to remedy these technical non-compliance conditions. No corrective recall action is required as the technical non-compliance conditions are deemed to be non-safety related. |
| 2013344 | 2013-10-02. Electrical. Certain Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 101 - Controls and Displays. Some vehicles may experience loss of instrument cluster illumination and erratic functioning of certain cluster warning lights. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the instrument cluster module. |
