The result of BTSI failure is the vehicle can slip out of park and move. The example FCA used in the recall as “when there is protracted brake-pedal application while a vehicle is idling in park.” The recall is due to the failure of the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) if it gets too hot. The bodies, frames, and drivetrains carry over from last year.įiat Chrysler Automobiles announced the voluntary recall of approximately 1.5 million Ram trucks on December 22, 2017.
Overall, there are no dramatic changes in Ram’s 2018 model lineup from 2017. Ram is pulling its diesel in favor of the mild hybrid engine at the same time Chevy is adding a diesel option for the 2019 Silverado and Ford’s 2018 F-150 diesel engine is just coming available. The current 3.0 EcoDiesel V6 is going back on the shelf and will not be available for order in 2019, at least not in the beginning of the model year. Highlights of the changes include an average 225-pound weight loss, an available mild hybrid battery-powered 48V electric motor paired with the 3.6L Pentastar V6, and an optional 12-inch touchscreen display for the center stack infotainment system. Ram introduced the first of a new generation, the 20 at the Detroit Auto Show. Drivers also can select from five ride height settings with dashboard controls with the air suspension system. The air suspension includes automatic load leveling to lower the truck at highway speeds for greater efficiency with lessened air resistance. Standard on the Rebel and Limited Crew Cab models, most other Ram 1500 models can be equipped with Ram’s unique Active-Level Four-Corner Air Suspension option.
