Chrysler "FCA US LLC" is recalling certain 2019-2020 Ram 2500 and 3500 Pickup vehicles equipped with six-speed automatic "68RFE" transmissions. A build up of pressure and heat inside the transmission may result in a transmission fluid leak from the dipstick tube.
The leaking transmission fluid may contact the turbocharger or another ignition source within the engine compartment, increasing the risk of a fire.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission valve body separator plate and reprogram the powertrain control module. The recall began March 2, 2020. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is W03.
