Ram Recalls 340,000 Heavy Duty Diesel Trucks for Engine Fires, Again

[AzScorpion]

Just so all the spotlight isn't just on Ford lately here's another issue with the Ram. Looks like their Heavy Duty trucks keep catching fire. ? So I guess the one isolated battery fire that Ford had and caught early is nothing compared to owning a Ram.

It wasn’t very long ago that Stellantis issued a recall for 280,000 newer Ram Heavy Duty trucks — the 2500 and 3500 series equipped with the 6.7-liter Cummins turbodiesel — for a risk of fire stemming from defective transmissions. A “buildup of pressure and heat” would result in a fluid leak, which was supposedly the cause of a fire.

Three months later, these same Rams have another recall, and once again it’s been linked to engine fires. The culprit is the heater-grid relay, per Automotive News, covering some 340,000 vehicles total between model years 2021 and 2023, including cab chassis variants:

It's scary to see Mazda on the list of the least amount of recalls along side of Bugatti, Maserati, Ferrari and Polestar.
