Fiat Chrysler Recalls One (1) Ram 1500 For Faulty Instrument Cluster
Fiat Chrysler Recalls One (1) Ram 1500 For Faulty Instrument Cluster-February 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:12:58

The 2019 Ram 1500 Limited.

Usually, when people talk about a “one in ” chance of something happening, it’s about something beneficial, like winning the lottery or emerging from a horrific crash unscathed. Not this time, though. This time, our lucky winner isn’t getting money or a miraculous second chance at life. They’re getting a recall on their Ram truck.

Congratulations, bud. Go buy yourself a lotto ticket, maybe. You’re on a roll.

Fiat Chrysler submitted a recall to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in late July for the 2019 Ram 1500, with only one digit in the “population” category: one truck. That low of a number is rare, especially for mass-production vehicles, .

The recall is for a potentially faulty instrument cluster, which could become inoperable and fail to illuminate proper driver warnings.That violates one of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards,which lay out basic safety requirements for having a car for sale in the United States.

FCA found out the Ram was affected by seeing the problem in other car models, said, and discovered that one 1500 in the U.S. also had it. That truck will get its instrument cluster with one that has updated software after the recall notification goes out on Sept. 13, and FCA said it’ll reimburse the owner for any repair costs so long as they have proof of payment.

Imagine, though, being one in (likely, based on Ram ) hundreds of thousands of people—how special it would feel. Out of all of the Ram trucks out there, you got the broken one. You can sure pick ‘em well.

We humans don’t make luck. We’re either born with it, or we’re not.

The New Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 Doesn't Deserve It
The original Lamborghini Countach was a shocking, industry-altering car that became a legend, singlehandedly sustained Lamborghini for more than a decade, and remains an icon today. The new Countach LPI 800-4 is none of those things, and people seem to be getting mad. I don’t get why. Here is...

Blip: David Tracy is 30
Everyone, take a moment to marvel at the fact that our own David Tracy, the Jeep-obsessed, rust-addled, dead-vehicle reanimating loon we all know, love, and occasionally report for grievous violations of town ordinances, turns 30 today. It’s quite an achievement for someone who not too long ago Happy birthday,...
