2019 Hme RAM 5500 recall: engine
⚠️ What's wrong
HME, Inc. (HME) is recalling certain 2019 Ram 5500 emergency vehicles. The engine calibration software may not warn about low oil volume.
💥 The risk
Low oil can damage the engine, causing an oil leak or a punctured engine block, increasing the risk of a fire.
🔧 The fix
On behalf of HME, FCA dealers will update the engine calibration software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed February 25, 2022. Owners may contact HME's customer service at 1-616-534-1463.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
