Ram Shift Issue

Aug. 6, 2019
Chrysler issued a recall for certain 2017-2018  RAM 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500 trucks built from January 2017 to January 2018, equipped with an automatic transmission and column shifter.

Pushing the brake pedal for prolonged periods when the engine is running and the transmission is in Park may cause the brake transmission shift interlock (BTSL) 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.
