Looks like a new recall incoming for the HO engine - MOD EDIT: NOT confirmed for HO - this is Chassis Cab SO trucks recall W57

[Hawk375]

"Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 cab chassis built with a Cummins 6.7L High Output engine. Inadequate warmup protection can cause a lack of oil film on the engine connecting rod bearings while the engine is reaching operating temperature. This can result in engine damage and connecting rod failure, which could potentially puncture the engine block."

[mod:] The recall is for Cab & Chassis trucks only which are not HO. FCA must have gotten a typo or something wrong. Thread title also updated. Sorry @Hawk375 but the thread title is causing a bit of a trainwreck and multiple threads started on this W57 recall issue.

Reading the attached documents, this is for C&C trucks, not pickups, and not HO. The C&C Cummins tune is different than pickups.

that's a relief

My 20 drw hohd aisin doesn't have any recalls or campaigns

This was in my gas buddy.

A software fix for a rod bearing

That means they will be de-nutted big time. This does not make me warm and fuzzy for the CGI engines, even in the pickups.

I'm trying to wrap my head around how Cummins can control oil flow to the the lower connection rod bearings via the ECM?

"Warmup protection" = (more) reduced power modes when cold.

If you look closer, at the correct recall documents for W57, it's clear this is for DD and DP trucks, (DD) 3500 Cab and Chassis and (DP) 4500/5500 Cab and Chassis trucks.

Ram's 6.7-liter Cummins diesel gets a recall for an oiling issue

The vehicle might not be flowing enough engine oil on startup, and this can cause damage.

Yay, another recall! Gawd I miss my Frontier...

 

[Speedracer93CobraR]

Just called and got the 5500 scheduled. Thanks for the update because I have not received a mailer and this truck is about to get busy traveling several states in our region. We are under 10,000 miles so hopefully nothing is hurt yet.

 

[elephantrider]

it's for chassis cabs only.

 

[2Many12Valves]

HO 3500s are a part of this Recall

 

[elephantrider]

3500 chassis cabs, yes. believe there are a few typos on the notice.

 

[2Many12Valves]

I was assuming the HO engine in the 3500 pickup truck would be the same as a chassis cab?

 

[Speedracer93CobraR]

I couldn't get the HO in the 5500 chassis cab. If I am correct and thats the 1,000 ft./lbs. torque.

Had this article pop up in my Google news this morning. Unfortunately they don't even mention cc like other articles have, wich sowes more more discomfort in the information being published.

A little consistency please

The C&C trucks do not run the HO.
