Ram has issued a recall that applies to over 131,000 units of the 1500 pickup truck made during the 2021 model year and equipped with the V8-electric eTorque mild-hybrid powertrain. The trucks included in the campaign could stall due to a software-related problem that sounds simple to fix.

Assigned recall number 23V-265 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the recall includes 131,700 examples of the 1500 built from June 3, 2020, to September 12, 2021. This period includes the entire production run for the 2021 model year, and Ram estimates that the defect is present in 100% of the affected trucks, but only models powered by the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 eTorque are concerned.
