The recall concerns an issue related to the powertrain control module software that could “cause an incorrect fuel mixture condition in the engine” of affected vehicles, according to a notice available on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website.
The company issued it Saturday.Â
The number of 2021 Ram pickups with 5.7L eTorque engines potentially impacted totals 131,700, according to the safety recall report. They were produced in a timeframe spanning June 2020 to September 2021.
The recall notice said the “incorrect fuel mixture condition” that the affected pickup trucks may experience could result in them suffering an engine stall.
That “may result in an unexpected loss of motive power while driving, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning,” according to the safety recall report.
Stellantis North America is “aware of one accident and zero injuries potentially related to the issue,” the report said.Â
It discovered the problem after launching a probe in January. It used analysis of stall patterns and vehicle history to determine its source, according to the report.
