What's wrong, in plain English

The radio software in these trucks can stop the rearview camera picture from appearing on the screen. Federal safety rules require these vehicles to provide a rear view image, and with this software problem they do not meet that requirement. Chrysler is recalling certain 2022-2023 Ram 1500 and Ram 3500 Cab Chassis rated under 10,000 pounds, along with 2022-2024 Ram 2500 trucks. Dealers will load corrected radio software at no cost to the owner.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your truck is covered. 2. Contact a Ram dealer to have the radio software updated, or call FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403. 3. The update is free.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 23V654000.
