It doesn't specify when the problem might occur, but what is clear is that an engine that stalls unexpectedly can increase the risk of an accident if it happens while the vehicle is in motion.
Ram engineers began investigating the situation in January 2023. They concluded that the software in the powertrain control module was the major culprit. That's good news, because it makes the solution easier. There will be an update to the powertrain control module calibration software.
