What's wrong, in plain English
Some 2023 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks have a transmission control unit with a weld that may not be strong enough. This can allow transmission fluid to leak onto the electrical components inside the unit. If that happens, the truck can lose the ability to drive under power, or it may not properly hold in the park position.
What you should do
2. Contact an FCA US dealer, or call customer service at 1-800-853-1403.
3. The valve body and control unit replacement is free.
