The Dealer did not complete this Safety Recall, They refused to follow up with the repair description of 73A which is part of this 66A they both have the same NHSTA Number. The vehicle seems to be more difficult to drive after getting it back from the dealer. I also noticed new cosmetic damages, and a missing cover under the fender-well. The vehicle was returned to me with an incomplete recall. "Jun 08,2023 Manufacturer Recall Number66A NHTSA Recall Number23V-411 Recall StatusRecall Incomplete Summary The magnetic material attached to the reluctor wheel provides a signal to the crankshaft position sensor. If this signal material is lost, the engine loses its ability to synchronize injector pulses and cam timing. This loss of crankshaft position can result in an engine stall, as well as loss of the ability to restart the engine. Safety Risk A loss of motive power can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.

Vehicle is experiencing a failure of the Anti Brake System Controller Module. This issue is triggering a "Red Brake" system light as well as others (Antiskid failure etc,) on the dash. Vehicle manual states do not drive the vehicle. The part number in question is 68295368AB. This is occurring in RAM1500 vehicles across the country. Dealerships are telling owners it is OK to drive the vehicle after confirming the ABS Controller Module is defective. Ram and parent company has failed to issue a recall or a communication to RAM 1500 owers of this problem. Currently the repair parts are not available nationwide per the RAM MOPAR parts website. This is a dangerous situation instilling a behavior with owners to disregard the warning lights they are receiving on their 1500 truck dashboards. Potentil for brake failure during operation has a high probability. Ram MOPAR is ignoring this safety issue.

I have a 2016 Ram 1500 with unrepairable brake problems. My ABS system went out in November 2024 and was told that I need a new control module to make repairs. the problem is there are no module in the United States. They need to come from a foreign country and that they need to be inspected. This was to be completed by January 15, 2025. I am still unable to get the repairs. Under Pa. inspection I will need the repairs. They are now saying some time by the end of April it may be available. This sound similar to the recalls to the 2017 Ram 2500 where there is a problem with the ABS System. This is putting me and my family at risk, but I need a vehicle. My dealer is Faulkner Dodge, Mechanicsburg, Pa. 17055
