“I was traveling northbound on [XXX], just before [XXX], at approximately 35 mph on dry asphalt in my 2015 Ram 1500 3.0L EcoDiesel just after refilling the fuel tank with 13.999 gal. of diesel fuel. While the vehicle was being driven both fuel-tank retention straps broke. The fuel tank dropped from its retained position and was observed resting on the asphalt beneath the vehicle. The vehicle lost all power causing a near-miss incident while attempting to navigate out of traffic. After coming to a stop, the vehicle was moved to the side of the road and parked just east of [XXX] on [XXX]. Passenger and eyewitness [XXX] experienced the entire incident and also observed the fuel tank beneath the vehicle and the broken straps. The vehicle could crank but would not start; and the fuel lines and electrical supply were both damaged. The check-engine light illuminated, as well as the fuel low and fuel sensor fail messages occurred during and after the incident. AAA towed the vehicle directly to Byers Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram on XXX. Dealer repair order XXX was opened XXX, and the vehicle was physically inspected on XXX. The dealer documented: “VERIFIED CUSTOMER CONCERN.…”
“There is a known issue about exhaust manifolds for my year model truck. A ram technician said in 2019 mopar created a new exhaust manifold for my truck that would be less likely to create soot buildup and warping in the exhaust manifold. In 2021 my EGR was replaced because of a recall but now my exhaust manifold has failed and needs to be replaced out of pocket even though it’s been a known issue and there was a remedy already made to alleviate the issue. Now because of soot buildup my throttle is limited until I have it fixed. But driving to a dealership is too far to be diagnosed as there has been cases of fires occurring when this issue occurs.”
“I am submitting this complaint to report a serious safety defect involving a high-pressure fuel system failure that occurred shortly after recall service was performed by an authorized dealership. The failure created a significant risk of engine compartment fire and potential loss of vehicle control. On March 25, 2025, my vehicle underwent recall service at Hall Ram Dealership for replacement of the high-pressure fuel pump. This repair required removal and reinstallation of the high-pressure fuel supply lines. These lines are torque-to-yield, single-use components that must be replaced once removed to ensure proper sealing under high operating pressures. On April 7, 2025, while driving at highway speed, the high-pressure fuel line connected to the pump suddenly ruptured. This resulted in an uncontrolled release of fuel into the engine compartment, creating an immediate safety hazard. Atomized fuel was exposed to high-temperature engine components, significantly increasing the risk of ignition and fire. The failure also posed a risk of sudden engine power loss. The vehicle required emergency towing. A review of the March 25 service invoice shows no documentation…”

“After few hours of research I found a part number to order replacement fuel filter required for use from Recall 22v-406. After passed onto by FCA and reaching out to Mopar who passed me onto local dealer and research on various forums I found a part number 68632011AA for the fuel filter so I thought. I contacted dealer and was told no filter is available and no date when it will be available, so back to research to find part number CSSMZ462AA-001 in the recall listed, I tried to order online but was told to contact local dealer and they confirmed the number good and placed order. I received the part today to find filter and housing cap. the filter resembles previous filters used but does not have any MOPAR stamp on it says made in China but box is labeled MOPAR and says made in Korea. the date on box is 12/15/2023. Is an aftermarket filter being packaged as OEM filter for a recall?”
