Owner Narrative
Manufacturer Recall NumberC4B NHTSA Recall Number24V-896 Recall StatusRecall Incomplete, remedy not yet available Some (2017-2018 MY Ram xxx) vehicles may have been built with a brake hydraulic control unit ("HCU") that is susceptible to failure or malfunction which may result in a reduction or change of Anti-Lock Brake System ("ABS")/Electronic Stability Control ("ESC") /Traction Control performance. A failing HCU will initially result in the intermittent loss of ABS/Traction control progressing to permanent loss. * I am writing to express my serious concerns regarding the safety of my vehicle, which is experiencing continuous warning lights and persistent beeping related to the ABS and ESC systems. The dash lights keep blinking on and off, creating a distracting and alarming environment while driving. The constant beeping sound further exacerbates the situation, making it difficult to concentrate and increasing the risk of an accident. This ongoing malfunction compromises the vehicleâs braking and stability functionalities, posing a significant safety hazard to myself, passengers, and others on the road. I urge immediate attention and repair to resolve this issue and ensure safe driving conditions.
