The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) website showed Wednesday that Stellantis (NYSE:STLA) owned Dodge will be recalling 131,700 Ram 1500 pickup trucks manufactured in 2021 due to a powertrain software issue.
According to the recall notice, the issue may cause the pickup trucks with 5.7L eTorque engines to stall due to an incorrect fuel mixture condition.
“The company is unaware of any related injuries,” Stellantis said in an emailed statement, adding that there was only one report of a vehicle crash potentially related to this condition.
Dealers will update the powertrain control module software on the impacted vehicles for free, according to the NHTSA.
Stellantis in February recalled 340,000 diesel Ram trucks to replace an electrical connector after reports of six fires.
Shares of STLA are down 0.93% in mid-day trading on Wednesday.
