Buying a used 2024 RAM 3500? Check these 2 recalls first
Only two recalls are listed: a driver airbag that may not deploy, shared with Jeep and Chrysler models, and turn signals that can be confused with high beams. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. The 43 unverified NHTSA complaints spread across electrical system, service brakes, power train and air bags, and include five crashes, four injuries and one fire — notable against such a short recall list. The record is still young.
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.
- Check the VIN for the driver airbag deployment recall and whether it has been remedied
- Test brake feel and pedal travel, given service brakes among top complaint areas
- Verify turn signals and high beams operate independently and correctly
- Open recalls are repaired free at any RAM dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
