Recall Notice: Dodge Recalls 186,000 Ram Heavy Duty Models With Cummins Turbo Diesel

Chrysler has announced that it is recalling a total of 186,099 Heavy-Duty Dodge Ram trucks. All of the vehicles in question are 2007-09 models and all are powered by the 6.7-liter Cummins turbo diesel. The recall is actually related to the engine itself – specifically revolving around tuning and emissions. A trouble code in the EMS system can trigger a check engine light, which can cause the fuel mixture to be enriched, resulting in black soot from the exhaust system and potential damage to the turbocharger and Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve.

To fix the problem, Chrysler will re-flash the engine computer, though customers who own one of the trucks in California, will have to submit proof of the repairs to the Department of Motor Vehicles before they can renew their registrations – a result of the Golden State’s strict emissions laws. Owners with questions or concerns are encouraged to contact Chrysler at 800-853-1403.

Me thinks that the compys that those trucks are running some didn't change. Just change the turbo and retuned on their own and prolly deleted the EGR. But there are alot of stockers out there.

you would be surprised how many are not stock. The biggest problem is that the turbo's keep getting cloged up with soot. Always going back to the dealer to get the turbo cleaned.

and 6.7's were put in at 07.5-09. sorry, had to do it!
