A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V824-0103.pdf.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Abs and traction control indicator lamps have an intermittent flash and alarm that alert at random times. This is dangerous as this not only disables the cruise control but the traction control is then disabled as well as the abs system causing brakes to lock up. Mopar and ram refuse to fix the issue and it costs consumers $1200 for parts and labor that may or not fix the issue. This is reported in many forum pages as well with all having the same complaints and stuck with the repair or not due to unreasonable cost associated with a possible fix. This should be an immediate recall as it is a safety concern even more so than an airbag issue. I cannot fathom a government agency responsible for safety to not mandate this as a recall.

Potential Consequences:
2018 RAM 2500 ABS module failure in 9/22. Dealer diagnosed & said part was on back order until 12/22. I have called the dealership multiple times checking on availability of the replacement part & each time I am told a different ship date with the current ship date a year out from the start of the problem. RAM seems to be unconcerned their product is endangering their customers with ABS failures which, unless I'm mistaken is a required feature on vehicles. The warning lights & "chimes" are constantly going off which is a distraction for the safe operation of this motor vehicle. The fact this is a know issue & the "fix" in my case is a year out is unacceptable. This component(s) have already been replaced by a recall & now failed is not acceptable. Through online searches, this is a known problem that has drug out too long & posing a risk to the drivers & passengers of these trucks & the traveling public that shares the road with these trucks.

The ABS and Traction Control light intermittently displaying a fault. Cruise is not available when the fault occurs. The Ram forums have countless number of reports with regards to ABS issue with low mileage trucks. 2018 RAM 2500 truck only has 16.7k miles and I purchased it new. I contacted Dodge and the ABS module and HCU module are not available until August. The dealer wants to charge $200 to look into it. I verified the vehicle speed sensors, wiring and connectors have no physical damage. Yesterday we took the truck out for about 20 miles and the light stayed off the whole time. Today I took it out and within 1 mile the lights started flashing. Connected NT301 CAN OBDII & EOBD code reader and no codes are displayed. On line forums indicating dealer repairs are temporary and have cost $1200-$1500 for repair. This needs to be addressed by the manufacture. On wet roads and on snow and ice this would be an issue if emergency stop is attempted locking the brakes.

Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
The ABS and HCU modules have failed multiple times now. This leads to a loss of braking power and notifications of service braking system, a loss of traction control, and poor braking performance. The dealership is currently replacing the parts for the second time. The vehicle only has 37,000 miles and the ABS module has only worked for half of that. When the ABS module begins to fail, braking becomes more difficult, cruise control stops working, and the traction control system does not work. This leads to dangerous driving conditions in rain and on wet roads and I will not allow my family to ride with me if the system begins alerting due to the risks of crashing.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Potential Consequences:
For about 8 months, our 2018 Dodge Ram 2500 has had interment ABS and HCU warning lights and the notification to "Service electronic braking system" followed by "Service antilock brake system". This may occur for a period of hours or seconds and disables our trucks ABS, traction control, cruise control and other systems. When checked, the truck has no stored fault codes. When this first occurred, I went to the dealer where the truck was purchased and inquired about replacement ABS and HCU modules and was informed that none were available. After subsequent visits and internet research, I found TSB#C0020-01, "ABS Pump Motor", that directs replacement of the ABS/HCU modules, and directs that the replacement parts will be provided by a "STAR system". We have had three incidents that we narrowly avoided accidents, two due to the intermittent ABS failure and one due to sudden loss of traction control while pulling our trailer. It has also noted that a Class Action Lawsuit has resulted from this same issue.
