FCA US has agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve claims that certain Ram trucks are equipped with defective anti-lock braking systems and brake hydraulic control units.
The Ram settlement benefits current owners or lessees of 2017-2018 DJ Ram 2500, D2 Ram 3500, DD Ram 3500 cab chassis, DF Ram 3500 10K LB cab chassis, DX Ram cab chassis and DP Ram 4500-5500 vehicles built between April 1, 2017, and Dec. 29, 2018.
According to the original class action lawsuit, certain Ram trucks are equipped with defective anti-lock braking systems and brake hydraulic control units. Plaintiffs in the case say the ABS defect can cause full brake lockup and other braking issues, forcing owners and lessees to suffer financial damages as they are forced to pay for repairs and experience diminished vehicle value.
FCA US is an automotive company that manufactures vehicles under the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram and other brands.
FCA US hasn’t admitted any wrongdoing but agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to resolve these allegations.
Under the terms of the Ram settlement, class members can receive repair reimbursements, rental vehicle reimbursements and benefits from a voluntary safety recall.
Class members who paid for repairs related to the replacement of a brake hydraulic control unit component can receive reimbursement for these repairs. These reimbursement claims are not capped by the settlement terms, but will be paid according to FCA’s normal recall processes.
Class members can also receive up to $100 per day and a total of $1,000 per vehicle for rental vehicle reimbursement. FCA will pay up to $600,000 to pay all filed rental vehicle reimbursement claims.
In addition to receiving the settlement benefits listed above, eligible drivers can also benefit from FCA’s voluntary safety recall, known as NHTSA Recall No. 24V-896. This recall provides for the installation of a new brake hydraulic control unit component with a pump motor brush material change.
The deadline for exclusion and objection is March 20, 2025.
The final approval hearing for the ABS defect settlement is scheduled for April 11, 2025.
Class members must submit a valid claim form to receive expense and repair reimbursement, but no claim form is listed on the settlement website.

15 thoughts onRam truck defect class action settlement
My ram is a 2018 2500. I purchased it in 2019. The ABS unit has been replaced twice under warranty. The truck has less than 52000 miles on it. I’m afraid to drive it unless necessary. I can’t afford the up front cost of a rental. I can’t trade or sell because of the recall.
Looks like someone could hurry this process up.
FCA could buy the truck back if there’s no fix.
My 2014 Dodge ram ecodeisel has a recall for the high efficiency fuel pump. I have been waiting a year and noe they are saying it will be at least another 15 months due to restricted parts that are allowed to be ordered per dealership. The year of my vehicle doesn’t allow me to join the current class action, do you have any other recommendations?
Hi I have a Ram 2500 2018 that has a ABS/Hydraulic Brake Control moduler recall and can’t get the dealership in Gilroy to give me the time of day. They say they don’t have the means to resolve the problem. I asked for a rental and was told I would have to have that approved? So I called the person who they said I had to and he said sorry I would have to pay out of pocket for a diagnostic test and it will be $275.00 i could submit to be reimbursed for if the diagnostic shows the bad abs moduler sending unit. I then was told to get the proof my truck was in the numbers being recalled. I told him what am I supposed to do mean while to get to work? He told me to drive the truck!
My abs light and tracktion control has been going off are we getting money back
