Ram Trucks Brazil has sent a notice to owners of its 2021 and 2022 Ram 2500 Laramie models, regarding a replacement of an engine preheating system relay. According to the automaker, there is a possibility of a short circuit of the component that has been identified.

Owners are to schedule an appointment with their Ram Trucks Brazil dealer starting Monday, November, 29th, 2021 to address the problem. Services will be carried out by prior appointment in order to avoid crowding, respecting the safety guidelines of the Ministry of Health and the decrees that aim to combat the spread of COVID-19.
