Ram transfer case may have been manufactured with a misshapen main output shaft, creating voids that may cause a shaft fracture.
The short version
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) reported a problem with the power train transfer case (4-wheel drive). Here is what owners need to know.
The transfer case may have been manufactured with a misshapen main output shaft, creating voids that may cause a shaft fracture.
If the main output shaft fractures, the vehicle may lose motive power, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, the driver may be unable to place the vehicle in PARK, increasing the risk of a vehicle rollaway.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transfer case, free of charge.
