The ABS (anti lock braking system) module failed resulting in ongoing beeping with display warning to service the system, and intermittent failure of other electrical features. A local mechanic diagnosed the problem and recommended replacement of the module. The Dynamax RV is a coach built on a Ram 5500 chassis. I was able to obtain a new replacement ABS module, but then learned that it had to be installed and "flashed" (programmed) by a dealer. I contacted Dynamax (now owned by Forest River), but have not received a reply. I then contacted the five nearest Ram dealers in my area. All of them told me that they could not help me because my vehicle is too big for their shop. I don't know if this problem affects my braking , but it appears that I am stuck with no solution. I hope you can help me. Any help would be appreciated.

Forest River, Inc. (Forest River) is recalling certain 2018 Dynamax Isata vehicles built on a RAM chassis and equipped with a column shifter. Pushing the brake pedal for prolonged periods when the vehicle is running and in PARK may cause the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) pin to stick in the open position. With the pin in the open position, the transmission can be shifted out of PARK into any gear without pushing the brake pedal or having the key in the ignition.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.
Remedy: Forest River will notify owners, and Chrysler dealers will update the vehicle software, inspect the BTSI, and, as necessary, replace it, free of charge. The recall began May 6, 2019.
