Dodge RAM Van: Electrical
Affects Dodge RAM Van · 1988 — about 53 vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles with an optional 700 amp battery, the front "three-cell" vent cap of the battery may become dislodged by the vehicle's inner hood panel. A dislodged vent cap would permit hydrogen gas to escape from the battery. In the presence of an ignition source the hydrogen could explode. Correction: "three-cell" vent caps will be replaced with individual battery cell caps.
