Stellantis is recalling more than 315,000 of its Ram pickup trucks due to a potentially deadly safety issue with the braking structure, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is reporting.

Federal safety regulators published the recall after learning that hydraulic control units installed on some of the automaker’s vehicles may fall short.

A deficit of anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, or traction control can boost the uncertainty of a crash, according to the NHTSA.
