Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2014 Ram 5500 trucks manufactured August 14, 2013, through January 7, 2014.

The Cummins 6.7L Turbocharger Actuator has failed at 17,809 Miles on this vehicle. Mopar has extended the warranty on this item for 10 years/180,000 miles under Warranty extension 09-001-22 Rev A. They have also extended the warranty on the Ram 2500 & 3500 series vehicles with the same engine and same turbocharger actuator to 15 years/150,000 miles under Warranty extension 09-005-22 Rev. A. The failure of this turbo actuator immediately places this vehicle in "limp" mode, causing an abrupt reduction in speed and hindering its ability to get out of traffic. This vehicle being an emergency response Fire Truck poses an additional risk to the community since it is unable to respond to an emergency. Mopar is telling me that the warranty extension has expired on this item. The manufacture needs to recall these known to fail turbo actuators or at a minimum extend the warranty from 10 to 15 years.

Took the truck to the ram dealership to get the recall for the rear wheel studs replaced they did the job a few days later the wheel almost came off on the freeway. The mechanic didn’t tighten the lug nuts we caught it just in time before something bad happened. That was 12/11/2023. We took it back to the dealership and they supposedly fixed it.exactly a month later and only 1500 miles on the freeway the wheels came off on the same side the studs were replaced. Tires flew off at 65mph and it hit 2 semi trucks luckily no small cars. Or it would have been tragic
