I have been waiting for these recall parts for nearly a year or better. I'm not able to safely drive my vehicle or inspect it. It has been far too long and my vehicle sits in the garage with 49,000 miles on it. I can't move it, drive it, sell it, use it. I think chrysler should be made more responsible for the losses of many many people and this part for their vehicle. I contacted the AG's office and they recommended I file a complaint with you folks. Please, please help!

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 43,000.
ABS Module and or HCU finally quit working. Loss of cruise control, ESC (traction control), 4x4 and speed sensor not registering. Had now storm around the 1st of December and got stuck on road in front of house due to loss of traction control and 4x4 not engaging. Dealer had said 4x4 was working when they informed me the ABS module needed replacement. It currently at a private diesel repair shop and they confirmed the ABS module needs replacement. Currently awaiting a ship and repair service to see if the module will work and fix the loss of above. There were two warning lamps on the dash lit up. The ABS and Traction Control light. I am hoping that all I need is the module repaired and that I don’t need the HCU replaced. This is super frustrating because there is a recall on the parts but the dealer and the company are in no hurry to find a remedy for the issue.
One instance all the brakes locked up on dry pavement. Second instance the brakes were slowing the truck on a wet surface but would not stop and did not engage the antilock brakes properly. 3rd time brake locked up just on right front wheel.

I have code C0020-01-ABS Pump motor control on in my 2017 Ram 2500 for almost two years. I bought it used at a dealership in Maryland in June 2022 and each time I check with them, the part to fix it is backordered or not available. According to a Star online publication dated 4/28/20 from FCA, when this code is on the HCU and the ECU should be tested and replaced, but the abs module is on parts restriction. Also, the federal safety agency ODI (NEF-102ig PE22-012) sent a letter to Head, vehicle safety compliance FCA, on January 23, 2023, notifying them that the federal safety agency had opened a Preliminary Evaluation to investigate allegations of intermittent or permanent loss of braking performance in my truck type and year. I feel this is a severe safety Hazzard and a fix to repair should be immediately available, and a recall issued so the solution is free of charge to owners. At the time of the letter there were 134 reports, but can only imagine there are plenty more by now. Also, I’m sure there are thousands of owners who don’t know about this yet. Thank you.
The abs braking system failed and the truck was put in an uncontrolled skid where the brakes completely locked up and crashed into another car. The cause severe damage to 2 cars. I reported it to the dealership and they don't have a fix for it. There were no warning lamps prior to the collision and none are up now.

the federal safety agency Recall Number24V-896- HCU unit replaced once. Replacement unit has now fully failed. Dealer Dutch Miller Ram of South Charleston made positive diagnosis of failed unit [see attached]. Same dealer notes NC replacement HCU part is not available. Same dealer notes however for a charge of @$1100 Stellantis has replacement units available for installation with a part # separated from remedy part by a single digit. The warning chime causes distracted driving as warning light and chimes occur persistently intermittently. This unpredictability requires driver eyes and attention to confirm cause of warning! Recall letter received early January of 2025!

This is my 2nd the federal safety agency complaint regarding this issue on my 2017 Ram 2500. Initial online complaint was done on 4/30/2022 regarding the trucks annoying and unsafe warning light indicating “Service Electronic Braking System” and amber ABS warning light. These warnings began on my truck in 2021 when it only had 12,000 miles. These intermittent warning lights and audible “dinging” still persist today at 22,000 miles. On 2/8/2025, I received notification of Recall #C4B (finally) as a result of the class action lawsuit and was pleased to see this development. To date, I, like many Ram owners are still awaiting parts to become available to have them replaced per the recall and am requesting that the federal safety agency step in to assist as we all have essentially unsafe trucks on US highways. I believe this should be a priority, given the fact that owners of 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks often own them to tow trailers (like myself) which leads to additional unsafe conditions on the road. It’s unacceptable to allow FCA US LLC to continue to delay addressing this recall.

I received notification of Manufacture Recall C4B (the federal safety agency Recall 24V‑896) in Nov 2024. My intermittent ABS light on my dashboard is continuously going on and off, indicating a problem with the anti-lock braking system since 2024. This prevents the setting of cruise control as well as a constant alarm sound. I feel this directly correlates from the brake hydraulic control unit HCU susceptible to failure or malfunction as stated in the recall and feel unsafe to drive my vehicle due to the potential risk of loss of ABS/ESC/Traction control that may cause my vehicle to crash without prior warning. I have attempted to remedy this situation by contacting the Washington, NC and Greenville, NC Dodge dealerships and Mopar Parts Support (800‑765‑7732) directly for immediate repair only to be told that they do have my information on a ticket but do not have a part to fix it, but in the same breath tell me I can buy an after market part at my local auto parts store at my cost and have the dealership install at my cost to resolve my issue. This is unacceptable, as I now have a financed vehicle that I purchased from a Dealership and I am unable to confidently drive due to safety concerns that my life and others on the roadway may be in danger. In addition I am continually paying my monthly finance payment, auto insurance , yearly taxes/tags since the recall November 2024 and it is now August 2025 and I have an unsafe undriveable vehicle! I am seeking your assistance to demand the manufacture fix the problem by repairing it, replacing it or repurchasing the vehicle.
