The fires can start even if the engines have been turned off and sitting for some time. Three fires have taken place.

The trucks involved come equipped with the 6.7-liter Cummins diesel engine.

A recall is expected to be announced April 30 from Stellantis, a part of Fiat Chrysler. Owners of the pickups can determine if a truck has been recalled at recalls or phone the company's customer service at (800) 853-1403.
