Kentucky residents who drive Dodge Ram pickup trucks or chassis cabs may soon be receiving recall notices from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The London-based multinational auto manufacturer announced on Sept. 19 that it was recalling 443,712 vehicles due to a water pump problem that could cause serious engine fires. Models covered by the recall include Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups and 3500, 4500 and 5500 chassis cabs equipped with 6.7-liter engines manufactured between 2013 and 2017. Fiat says that recall notices will be mailed once dealers have sufficient supplies of the parts needed to complete the repairs.<\/p>\n

Fiat says that the water pump involved is no longer used by the company or fitted to any of its vehicles.<\/p>\n

Water pumps cool engines by circulating water between their cooling systems and engine blocks, and fires are a real possibility when this flow is interrupted or restricted. Fiat says that many of the drivers who reported overheating issues<\/a> with Ram pickup trucks became aware of the problem when a warning light illuminated, and the company has urged its customers to watch their dashboards closely and contact an authorized dealer without delay if they notice anything unusual.<\/p>\n
