Fiat Chrysler is recalling more than 494,000 Ram heavy-duty pickups and medium-duty trucks because their water pumps could be defective.The company says a water pump bearing can overheat under certain conditions, potentially leading to an engine fire.It no longer uses the type of water pump involved in the recall.
The recall involves Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups and Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 chassis cabs from the 2013 to 2017 model years. All 494,417 of the vehicles involved have 6.7-litre engines.
Most of the trucks were sold in the U.S., but Transport Canada’s vehicle recall website says more than 49,000 are in Canada. Another 4,485 are in other markets.
The company will notify customers and dealers will fix or replace the water pumps for free.
