FCA recalls Ram dualie chassis cabs to recalibrate top speed - Autoblog (blog)

- FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 1,771 trucks in the U. S. to recalibrate their maximum speed. The dual-wheel trucks are currently restricted to a top speed of 106 miles per hour (mph), but an internal specification review revealed top speed should be set at 87 mph, in accordance with their factory-equipped tires. The Company is unaware of any related injuries, accidents or customer complaints. While FCA believes it is unlikely that these trucks are operated at such speeds, and that doing so would exceed posted speed limits in nearly every applicable jurisdiction, the Company is acting out of an abundance of caution. The campaign is limited to certain model-year 2014-15 Ram 4500/5500 Chassis Cabs equipped with 6. 4-liter HEMI V-8 engines. Customers with questions may call the FCA US Customer Information Center at 1-800-853-1403. ###. Statement: Bolt. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 72 cars in the U.
