Vehicles Affected: Approximately 444,000 model-year 2013-17 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks, as well as model-year 2013-17 Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 chassis-cab trucks, all equipped with the Cummins turbo-diesel 6.7-liter inline six-cylinder engine
The Problem: A water-pump bearing on the engine may overheat after being exposed to certain conditions, potentially causing an engine-compartment fire and increasing the risk of injury.
The Fix: Dealers will inspect the water-pump bearing and replace if necessary.
