Seems like this is an appropriate place to alert people considering or owning a 2018 (and some prior years) RAM 2500. Hydraulic Control Unit failure is a "known issue" that takes the truck off the road until an anticipated AUGUST 2023 back-order date. It's a braking system issue, and that's a life-or-death thing, particularly when there's a few tons of RV in tow.
So our booked-up trip from FL to ME this summer now appears dead; we'll be paying cancellations and pleading our non-refundable reservations. Then we have to find SOMETHING to drive for 4 months. And when it does get fixed, I don't expect to be consoled by the cost. "Bewildered" would be a major understatement.
It sure seems like a recall should be declared, and my understanding is that NTSB is looking into the situation. It's easy to report (online or by phone), so if you are among the unfortunate and want to try to raise some pressure on Chrysler for financial relief from resulting damages, it would be in your best interest (and a service to prospective owners) to report the case.
