ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:DIESEL

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Ram 1500 and 2014-2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles equipped with 3.0L diesel engines. The crankshaft position sensor tone wheel may delaminate causing the engine to lose its ability to synchronize the fuel injector pulses and cam shaft timing, possibly resulting in an engine stall.

Fix: FCA US will notify owners, and dealers will update the powertrain control module software to maintain vehicle propulsion by reading the camshaft position signal in the event that the crankshaft position signal is lost, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 13, 2021. Owners may contact FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-2002. FCA US's number for this recall is W58.

2016 ram ecodiesel has had the required epa compliance update to engine and transmission ecms. Post update, throttle response from the vehicle when the engine is not fully up to temperature is very sluggish...takes up to a couple seconds to start accelerating. This has caused me to nearly be hit by oncoming traffic while waiting for the vehicle to start accelerating.

Since the fca ecm re-flash, my truck turbo lag is now deadly, when the engine gets past the turbo lag it will smoke the tires, but don't back off or you start all over again with turbo lag.
