This heat will cause the grease to break down and increase the resistance in the switch resulting in eventual switch failure.  Correction:  Headlamp switches will be replaced and a relay will be included in the park lamp wiring circuit causing the headlamps or park lamps to go out.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"819","part_number":null,"units":6176,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Circuit électrique","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains Ram 3500, le courant de fonctionnement du commutateur d’éclairage installé sur ce modèle de camions est tellement élevé que la température interne du commutateur excède 100 oC, ce qui est supérieur à la limite maximale d’utilisation de la graisse lubrifiante interne. La dégradation de la graisse risque d’entraîner une augmentation de la résistance du commutateur et sa défaillance éventuelle; les phares et les feux de stationnement cesseront alors de fonctionner.  Correction : Les commutateurs d’éclairage devront être remplacés et un relais devra être posé sur le circuit de câblage des feux de stationnement."},"vehicles":[{"year":1994,"make":"DODGE","model":"RAM","vehicle_id":"1994_dodge_ram","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1995,"make":"DODGE","model":"RAM","vehicle_id":"1995_dodge_ram","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1996,"make":"DODGE","model":"RAM","vehicle_id":"1996_dodge_ram","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1997,"make":"DODGE","model":"RAM","vehicle_id":"1997_dodge_ram","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/1999027"}
