Ram recalls HD pickups for loose windshield wipers

Ram is recalling heavy-duty pickups (Ram 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500) built between April 27, 2019, and March 9, 2020, to address a potentially defective windshield wiper design that can result in loose and/or underperforming wipers that don't rotate properly on their pivot arms when activated.  "Some 2019-2020 MY Ram [...] vehicles may have been built with one or both windshield wiper arms with an improperly formed wiper arm head joint," Ram said in its defect notice to NHTSA. "An improperly formed wiper arm head joint may not properly form the splines of the head joint on the wiper arm, which can allow the joint to strip and result in the wiper arm failing to operate properly when the system is activated." "An improperly functioning wiper system may, in certain circumstances, lead to a diminution in road visibility which can cause vehicle crash without prior warning," it said.  Symptoms of a defective wiper arm head joint could be similar to the diminished performance of a worn wiper blade, but vehicles with the defect may exhibit other warning signs, such as wiper blades that don't sit in their normal "rest positions" (Ram's words, not ours) when set to "off."  Dealers will tighten the nuts on the wiper arm head joints for customers as part of the campaign.  Recalls RAM Truck Commercial Vehicles

Houston road rage incident devolves into all-out brawl

The video is no longer available. It appears the associated account has been terminated. Chaos erupted on a Houston freeway last weekend when an altercation spiraled out of control and ended up in a battle-royale style brawl in the middle of traffic. According to KTRK, David Dao and his daughter were traveling along FM 1960 on the morning of May 14 when they came upon a white Honda and a blue Ram truck parked in the right lane. The drivers and passengers of the vehicles were engaged in a spirited argument about something that had happened moments before Dao pulled up. Dao parked in his lane to block traffic in an attempt at making sure other drivers didn't hit the people fighting in the right lane, and instructed his daughter to start filming the incident in case they were needed as witnesses. As Dao's daughter filmed, the incident quickly escalated–harsh words were exchanged, a drink was thrown in a woman's face, and then the driver of the Ram kicked in the Honda's grille. "I couldn't believe it. As soon as he kicked the grille, I was like, 'This is going down now," said Dao. "I was thinking this is going to be bad. At that time, I knew because there was physical damage." As soon as the Ram driver kicked the Honda the entire situation went sideways and devolved into a huge brawl, with the people from both vehicles throwing wild punches and grappling with one another. A woman who was a passenger in the Ram attempted to break up the scrum but took a haymaker in the face for her troubles. Eventually, the fight broke up and the people returned to their vehicles which Dao assumed meant that the altercation was over. Apparently though, the Ram driver felt he hadn't made his point, and he reversed at high speed into the Honda, smashing the fascia and buckling the hood. The Ram then sped off westbound on U.S. 290 with the Honda on its tail. According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the incident was not reported and there is no word what happened to the brawlers after they left the scene.
