28 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Reported 2025-12-01 · Campaign 25V824000 · Model years: 2019
These trucks have curtain airbags that drop down alongside the side windows in a crash. Because of a manufacturing defect, the metal canister that fills one or both of those bags can burst instead of inflating them properly. If that happens, sharp pieces of metal can fly out and strike people inside the truck. The problem only shows up in a crash, which is exactly when the airbag is supposed to protect you. Dealers replace the affected airbags free.
Reported 2025-11-06 · Campaign 25V765000 · Model years: 2021
A control part inside the steering column may keep the driver's airbag from working the way it should. If you are in a crash, the airbag in the steering wheel may not inflate, leaving you without that protection. These trucks do not meet the federal rule for crash protection because of it. Nothing about the way the truck drives will feel different, so you cannot tell on your own whether yours is affected.
Reported 2025-09-11 · Campaign 25V592000 · Model years: 2018
The curtain airbags that drop down over the side windows have a part inside that inflates them with gas. Because of a manufacturing mistake, that part can break apart when the airbag goes off. Instead of just cushioning you, it can send sharp metal pieces flying into the cab and hurt the people inside. Dealers will replace one or both side curtain airbags as needed, at no cost. Owner letters were mailed in September 2025.
The side curtain airbags run along the roof above the side windows and drop down in a crash. On these trucks, a manufacturing problem means the part that inflates the airbag — on the right side, the left side, or both — can burst instead of filling the bag. If that happens, sharp pieces of metal can fly into the cab and hit the people inside. A dealer will replace one or both side curtain airbags at no cost.
Reported 2024-11-27 · Campaign 24V896000 · Model years: 2018
These trucks have a part called the hydraulic control unit that runs the anti-lock brakes, the electronic stability control and the traction control. It can fail, shutting all three systems off. Without them, the wheels can lock up in a hard stop and the truck gets no help staying straight on slippery roads or in a sudden swerve, which makes a crash more likely. The notice does not say your regular brakes stop working.
Reported 2023-02-09 · Campaign 23V060000 · Model years: 2021
These diesel trucks use an electric heater to help the engine start in cold weather. The relay — the switch that turns that heater on — can short out electrically, and it can do so whether the ignition is on or off. A short there can start a fire in the engine compartment. A dealer will replace the relay free of charge. The repair is being rolled out in stages, starting with 2023 models, then 2022, then 2021.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
On these Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups, the catch that the tailgate latches onto may be out of position. As a result the tailgate may not lock shut properly and can swing open while you are driving. Anything in the bed that is not tied down can then slide or fall out onto the road behind you, where it becomes a hazard for other drivers. The dealer adjusts it free.
Reported 2022-11-10 · Campaign 22V835000 · Model years: 2020, 2021
Pressure and heat can build up inside the automatic transmission on these heavy-duty Ram pickups. That pressure can push transmission fluid out of the dipstick tube, the tube where you check the fluid level. If that fluid drips onto something hot in the engine bay, it can catch fire. A dealer will install a new dipstick and a new transmission vent part so the pressure can escape normally instead of forcing fluid out. The parts and labor cost you nothing.
Certain Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks and Dodge Durango SUVs have a software problem in the anti-lock brake computer. Because of it, the dashboard warning light for the electronic stability control — the system that helps keep the vehicle from skidding or spinning — may not light up when that system has a problem. So you could be driving with the stability system not working and never be told about it. Dealers will update the software free of charge.
Reported 2022-01-27 · Campaign 22V035000 · Model years: 2019, 2020
The nuts that hold the windshield wiper arms in place can loosen. When that happens, the wipers may not sweep properly, may move out of position, or may stop clearing the glass at all — a real problem in rain or snow, when you need to see the road. The fix is quick: a dealer tightens the wiper nuts free of charge. This recall expands an earlier one, 20V-208, to cover more trucks. Owner letters were mailed in February 2022.
Reported 2021-11-24 · Campaign 21V925000 · Model years: 2021
These trucks have airbags that drop down from the roof rail alongside the side windows to protect your head in a crash. Some were built with the wrong amount of compressed gas inside the inflator, so they may not inflate the way they are supposed to. You would have no way to tell from the driver's seat; the problem only shows up in a crash, when the airbag may not protect you properly and could add to your injuries.
Reported 2021-11-12 · Campaign 21V880000 · Model years: 2019, 2020
Certain Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups and Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 cab chassis trucks with the Cummins 6.7-liter turbo diesel engine may have a fuel pump that fails. That pump pushes fuel into the engine at high pressure, and if it breaks the engine can shut off suddenly while you are driving, with no warning first. The dealer replaces the pump, updates the engine computer software, and checks the other fuel parts, replacing any that are damaged.
Reported 2021-10-14 · Campaign 21V798000 · Model years: 2021
These diesel pickups and cab chassis trucks have a relay — an electrical switch — for the intake heater that helps the engine start in cold weather. It can short out and start a fire, whether the ignition is on or off. A dealer will inspect the relay and replace it if needed, free of charge. This recall has since been replaced by a newer, broader recall, 23V060, which covers the same problem on these trucks.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
Reported 2021-03-11 · Campaign 21V163000 · Model years: 2021
These heavy-duty Ram trucks with the 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel have an electrical part called the solid state intake heater grid relay. That part can short out, and a short there can start a fire in the truck. Because of that, Chrysler tells owners not to park these trucks inside buildings or structures, and not near other vehicles, until the final repair is finished. A dealer will check the relay and replace it if needed, and may add insulating material.
Reported 2020-10-08 · Campaign 20V622000 · Model years: 2020
On these 2020 Ram 1500 and 2500 trucks, the mirror glass on the driver's side door mirror can come loose and fall off its backing plate. Once the glass is gone, you have no reflection on that side, so you cannot see traffic coming up beside or behind you on the left. That blind spot makes changing lanes and merging much riskier. The mirror does not meet the federal rear-visibility rule, and a dealer will replace the glass.
Reported 2020-09-24 · Campaign 20V580000 · Model years: 2019
The front seat belts in these trucks and SUVs have a part called a retractor, which locks the belt in a crash and then controls how far you move forward. On the recalled vehicles, the retractor may lock but then fail to slow your forward movement properly. That means the belt would not hold you back as well as it should, and the people in the front seats could be hurt more seriously in a crash. Dealers will replace the front seat belt retractors.
Reported 2020-09-10 · Campaign 20V191000 · Model years: 2019, 2020
The software in your 8.4-inch or 12-inch radio screen has a bug. After you back up and shift out of reverse, the picture from the backup camera can stay on the screen instead of switching back to the normal display. That means you can be driving forward while a rear-facing picture is still showing, which can pull your eyes and attention off the road ahead. The fix is a software update for the radio screen.
Reported 2020-04-09 · Campaign 20V207000 · Model years: 2019, 2020
Some Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups were built with an add-on step under the bed that helps you climb up. If you put weight on it from the side, the step can break without warning. Someone standing on it could fall and get hurt. This does not affect how the truck drives, steers, or stops. Dealers will replace the support brace that holds the step, free of charge.
Reported 2020-01-24 · Campaign 20V043000 · Model years: 2019, 2020
Pressure and heat can build up inside the automatic transmission on these pickups, pushing transmission fluid out through the dipstick tube. That fluid can land on the turbocharger or another hot part under the hood and catch fire. The repair replaces a plate inside the transmission and reloads the truck's control software so the pressure does not build up. Owners were notified starting in March 2020, and the work is done at a dealer.
Reported 2019-08-29 · Campaign 19V635000 · Model years: 2019
The brake calipers are the parts that squeeze the brake pads against the wheels to slow you down. On these trucks, the calipers were built using the wrong fluid during assembly, and that fluid can make the rubber seals inside swell up. Swollen seals keep the brakes from fully releasing, so they drag against the wheels. Dragging brakes get very hot, and overheated brakes can stop working properly. A dealer will replace the front calipers and brake hoses and bleed the brakes.
Reported 2019-06-27 · Campaign 19V498000 · Model years: 2019
The fuel lines on these diesel trucks may leak fuel into the engine compartment. Diesel pooling or dripping around a hot, running engine is dangerous: if it reaches anything that can ignite it, the truck can catch fire. Dealers will look over the fuel lines and put in new ones if they find a problem. The inspection and any new parts are free of charge.
Reported 2019-05-09 · Campaign 19V347000 · Model years: 2018
These trucks have a power locking tailgate. A small tab inside the tailgate's power latch actuator can crack. If it breaks, the tailgate can unlatch and swing open on its own while you are driving. Anything in the bed can then slide or fall out onto the road, where it becomes a hazard for the drivers behind you. Chrysler expanded this recall in August 2019 to cover many more trucks. A dealer repairs the tailgate latch at no cost.
Reported 2019-01-25 · Campaign 19V021000 · Model years: 2018
A large nut on the steering linkage under the front of these trucks can work itself loose. If it does, one end of the drag link, the bar that carries your steering input to the front wheels, can come apart. If that happens, you lose the ability to steer. The dealer will check how tight the nut is and either replace the drag link or weld the nut in place so it cannot loosen.
Reported 2018-10-16 · Campaign 18E096000 · Model years: 2018
This recall covers certain AEV 3-inch Dualsport suspension lift kits (part numbers N0436000 and N0436001) installed on 2013-2018 Ram 2500 and 3500HD trucks. When the kit was installed, the truck's original steering knuckle was machined and fitted incorrectly. That weakens the joint where the steering drag link attaches. The weakened joint can break apart, and you would lose the ability to steer. Dealers will inspect the truck and install a new steering knuckle, free of charge. The recall began December 3, 2018.
Reported 2018-06-14 · Campaign 18V398000 · Model years: 2018
Chrysler is recalling certain 2018 Dodge Journey and Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 vehicles. The backup camera picture can disappear from the screen while you are reversing, which means you could be backing up with no view of what is behind you. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal rule for rear visibility. Dealers will replace the rearview mirror free of charge.
Reported 2018-05-17 · Campaign 18V332000 · Model years: 2018
These vehicles have cruise control, which holds a set speed for you. A short circuit in the wiring can lock the cruise control on. If that happens, tapping the brake pedal or pressing the off button may not shut it off, and the vehicle can keep its speed or even speed up on its own. Chrysler tells owners to stop using cruise control until the free computer software update is done at a dealer.
Reported 2018-02-08 · Campaign 18V100000 · Model years: 2018
On these RAM trucks with a column shifter, holding the brake pedal down for a long stretch while the truck is running and in Park can make a small locking pin stick in the open position. With that pin stuck, the transmission can be moved out of Park into any gear without anyone pressing the brake pedal and even without the key in the ignition. That means the truck can end up in gear by accident and roll away.
Reported 2017-12-21 · Campaign 17V824000 · Model years: 2018
These vehicles came with a Kidde plastic-handle or push-button fire extinguisher, and those extinguishers have been recalled. The extinguisher can clog so it does not spray, or take far too much force to set off. On some models the nozzle can blow off the valve hard enough to injure someone. The vehicle itself is not defective — the problem is the safety equipment you would reach for during a fire. Kidde will send a free replacement.
