What are the defects?
Due to a software issue in the steering column control module, vehicles may have been built with a steering column control module (SCCM) turn signal lever which may not cancel when the steering wheel is rotated or switched off manually. This could lead to a non-cancelling indicator and/or high beams activating.
What are the hazards?
If the turn signal indicators do not illuminate as intended, other road users would be unable to identify if the vehicle is turning. This could increase the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.
What should consumers do?
Owners of affected vehicles should contact their local authorised RAM dealer to have the software updated, free of charge.
