SAFETY RECALL K33 POWER STEERING RESERVOIR CAP
MODELS:
2010-2011 (DC/DM/DJ/D2/DD/DP) Ram Truck
NOTE:
This recall applies only to the above vehicles equipped with a 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel engine (sales code ETJ) built at the Saltillo Assembly Plant ("G" in the 11th VIN Position) through October 05, 2010 (MDH 100520).
IMPORTANT:
Many of the vehicles within the above build period have already been inspected or repaired and, therefore, have been excluded from this recall.
^ The power steering reservoir cap on about 11,300 of the above vehicles may cause excessive vent pressure levels in the power steering/hydraulic brake booster system. This may cause the vehicle to have brake lights that remain illuminated for an extended period of time after the brake pedal has been released. Brake lights that are slow to turn off could increase the risk of a crash.
^ To correct this condition, the power steering reservoir cap must be replaced.
