Chrysler is recalling over 211,000 SUVs and pickup trucks in the U.S. due to a software malfunction affecting the electronic stability control systems. The recall includes certain 2022 Dodge Durango, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 vehicles. The issue lies in the anti-lock braking control module, which could lead to stability control failure and increase crash risks. Dealers will update the software for free, with notification letters to be sent out by July 26. Stellantis urges impacted customers to contact dealers or the recall assistance center. The company discovered the problem through customer feedback and is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. Around 211,581 vehicles produced between April 2021 and December 2022 are affected in the U.S. Similar vehicles outside the recall period may have different software. Owners can check their vehicle status on the NHSTA site or Chrysler's recall lookup. Additionally, vehicles in Canada, Mexico, and other markets will also be recalled.
