I got a CEL at 67,500. I believe the manual says to change CCV filter and clean egr system at 67,500. Once I did so the problem was solved. I don't own the Ram anymore so I can't check the manual.
A CEL is set by a fault. If your EGR was stuck yes it could set a CEL. And once cleaned and operational the CEL would go away after a couple drive cycles if not cleared with a reader first.

If your truck requires this maintenance it was just coincidence it failed at that maintenance interval. In fact, that would suggest the required maintenance interval is too long if the part fails before the require service is performed.
