Nearly 250,000 Ram heavy-duty pickups are being recalled over fire concerns in the engine compartment.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration a transmission fluid leak may lead to a fire in 2020-2023 Ram 2500 and 2020-2022 Ram 3500 trucks equipped with a Cummins 6.7-liter diesel.
A build-up of pressure and heat inside the transmission may cause transmission fluid to leak from the dipstick tube. A remedy is currently under development.
