The problem
Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2010-2011 Dodge Ram trucks manufactured from March 2009 through October 2010. Some vehicles equipped with diesel engine and a hydroboost brake system May be equipped with a power steering reservoir cap with excessive vent pressure levels that May result in brake pedals that are slow to return.
The risk
Brake lights that are slow to extinguish could increase the risk of a crash.
The fix
Chrysler will notify owners and dealers will replace the power steering reservoir cap free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during February 2011. Owners May contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
