Buying a used 2024 RAM 3500? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2024 Ram 3500 has 2 recalls in this group: an airbag that may not deploy and lighting controls that may swap turn signals and high beams. These make restraint repair documentation and correct lighting operation specific priorities. The complaint record also highlights brakes, an area outside the listed recall titles. NHTSA lists 46 unverified owner complaints, including 13 electrical and 12 service brake reports, with reported outcomes of 5 crashes, 1 fire, and 4 injuries.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify VIN-specific airbag recall completion.
- Confirm lighting-control recall repairs and test signals and high beams.
- Request brake and electrical diagnostic records, including unresolved faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any RAM dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
