Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling roughly 4.8 million vehicles due to a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging, the company has announced.
The recall, limited to vehicles equipped with a shifter mounted on the steering column, covers 1.48 million Ram pickups and chassis cabs in the U.S.
The 2018 Ram 1500 will arrive with an embedded fleet telematics module, standard backup camera, larger audio display screen and other features, Fiat Chrysler has announced.

I recently evaluated the 2017 Ram 2500 Tradesman Regular Cab 4x2 powered by the 6.4L V-8 HEMI, which is capable of generating a muscular 410 hp.
