## What is wrong

Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) is recalling certain model year 2014\-2015 Ram 1500 diesel 4x2 trucks manufactured August 8, 2013, to July 2, 2015.  The affected vehicles have a battery harness that may rub against the frame bracket for the right engine mount resulting in an electrical short.


## What can happen

If the harness shorts, the vehicle may stall and there is an increased risk of a fire.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles to confirm that the battery harness is correctly routed and secured.  Any harness that shows evidence of wear will be replaced.  These repairs will be performed free of charge.  The recall began on October 8, 2015.  Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.  Chrysler's number for this recall is R43.
