NHTSA Complaint #11514036 — 2014 RAM 2500

on the 6.7L cummins diesel engines, as part of the cold start system, there is a bolt in the intake plenum that can come loose and eventually break off getting sucked into the #6 cylinder. when this happens, there will be catastrophic failure of the engine. This boltis barely visible looking from the top driver side of engine, a sure sign of this problem is the preheater wire connected to the intake plenum will seem loose and you can wiggle it. This is not repairable from the exterior of plenum and must be torn down for repair or replacement. If this problem is not noticed, eventual total failure of the diesel engine will happen, not maybe, but will potentially destroy the engine. numerous reports in the repair field have identified this problem and it needs to be addressed ASAP .... respectfully request that RAM/Cummins be contacted and at a minimum, a TSB be initiated so RAM owners can have this area inspected before total failure occurs
