A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups.

- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 18V100000
- Manufacturer's number: U11
- Manufacturer: Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\)
- Reported: 2018\-02\-08
- Owners notified: 2018\-02\-26
- Component: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
- Units potentially affected: 180462

## What is wrong

Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) is recalling certain 2017\-2018 RAM 1500, 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis, 4500 Cab Chassis, and 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles, all equipped with a column shifter.  Pushing the brake pedal for prolonged periods when the vehicle is running and in PARK may cause the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock \(BTSI\) pin to stick in the open position.  With the pin in the open position, the transmission can be shifted out of PARK into any gear without pushing the brake pedal or having the key in the ignition.


## What can happen

Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners and dealers will update the Body Control Module software.  Dealers will also test the BTSI operation, replacing the solenoid as necessary.  The recall began February 26, 2018.  Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.  Chrysler's number for this recall is U11.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
