My heavy-duty Ram truck has a verified C4B HCU braking defect that occurred right after completing Emissions Recall 67A on 07/17/2024. The manufacturer has a severe parts backlog. The truck cannot pass state inspection and is legally grounded. Stellantis is refusing to provide direct-bill alternate transportation, effectively forcing me to front thousands of dollars or drive an unsafe vehicle with failing critical safety features.

This is in regard to safety recall C4B. I have been contacting RAM dealers for almost 5 years on this issue and they have not had parts the whole time. I am sure they are mandated to build vehicles with ABS and this is obviously a common issue if you finally required the recall. I see they had the parts available for the CAB/ CHASSIS models which is the same part. How can there be a recall and no action this is not a new issue that was sprung on them. When I complain to the dealer they tell me to simply park the truck if I am worried about it. This is pure frustration as I paid for the traction control and cruise control and ABS but none of this has been available for 5 years and it seems like there is zero recourse.

Vehicle needs the hydraulic control unit for the ABS to be replaced. Dealership has part needed but has it under a different part number than manufacturer and charges 1500 to replace.
The recall C4B/NHTSB 24v-893 came out in January of 2025. The parts are still not available for this recall (per Chrysler/RAM). I have been driving my truck with a possible non-working ABS system for a year and a half, often pulling a 10,000 lb trailer. I feel that this is ridiculous that the part is still not available. If I had a wreck during this time, I guarantee that I would sue the crap out of Chrysler.
It’s been to the dealer several times and they claim the recall part is unavailable and Safety Risk The loss of ABS/ESC/Traction control may cause a vehicle crash without prior warning
Truck has ABS and Traction Control warning lights alerting. Itermittent failure of brake system. Responsible for an accident 4/13/2026. Dealership has not notified but are sending out recall letters for July 2026. I have a video that illustrates the issues with ABS.

My vehicle experienced the exact component failure described in the federal safety agency Recall 24V‑896 (FCA Campaign C4B), but my VIN is currently excluded due to the manufacturing date window." My truck's build date was 01/17. The following warning lights appeared (ABS, Traction Control/ESC) and I lost auxiliary cruise control. An independent shop diagnosed the failed Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) / ABS pump motor and I had to pay out of pocket ($750) to restore the safety features of the vehicle.
Failing ABS hydraulic control module is causing a dash warning lamp accompanied with an alarm noise and check abs system displayed. This has been going on since I purchased the truck in July 2025. In the beginning the light/alarm/message was not happening too often. Now it is so often that I can barely stand to drive it anywhere. Last week I drove to the store and back home which is about 15 miles. I counted over 100 events in that span. I understand there is a current safety recall that was issued back in November 2024. In the details of this recall they say the issue could cause collision. If so, why is this taking so long to be resolved? I have contacted the dealer several times and they are well aware of the issue but say there is not a remedy yet. However, they offered to replace the HCU with the same one but I pay for it and I will likely end up with the same problem down the road. That just seems absurd to me.

This recall for ABS control module went out just after my warranty expired. My truck is a 2017 with just over 60,000 miles and I am scared to haul trailer as the brakes lock up with sudden stops.
