What are the defects?
Due to a manufacturing defect, the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) module may disable the Electronic Stability Control (ESC). If this occurs, the ESC may fail without warning resulting in a loss of vehicle control. This may also result in the seatbelt pretensioners and airbags not performing as intended in the event of an accident.
What are the hazards?
A loss of vehicle control and/or airbags and seatbelt pretensioners not deploying as intended in the event of an accident could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.
What should consumers do?
Owners of affected vehicles should contact their nearest authorised RAM dealer to have the vehicle inspected and if necessary, update the ORC module, free of charge.
