ABS System Failure HCU/ABS Module need to be replaced. This does not only occur on 2017-2018 RAM trucks. Please expand the investigation to include at least 2020 as well. Parts have been discontinued and new ones are not available yet. RAM knows there is a problem. They need to recall this safety issue.

Last week this took place: 2020 Ram 3500 Dual rear wheels AISON transmission is outfitted with factory trailer brake module. Was hauling a horse trailer near 30,000 lbs to a horse show, caravaning with crew pulling another horse trailer about the same weight with a 2020 Ram 3500 (Vin #3C63RRML6LG642630 (see separate complaint)). All connections checked before departure. Unlike the other Ram in the caravan, No ABS warning light activated prior to the failure. When braking, no trailer brakes engaged. Then checked hand paddles on the factory trailer brake module and the hand paddles activated the trailer brakes. Took it into the dealership to check codes and they said none appeared or were somehow reset. There was excessive heat during this trip and the failure occurred in both RAM 3500 vehicles during the same travel segment within minutes of the other.
