Buying a used 2024 RAM 4500? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2024 RAM 4500 has 2 recalls in this group: an air bag that may not deploy and light controls that may swap turn-signal and high-beam functions. These are distinct restraint and lighting-control concerns to check in the repair history. NHTSA lists 1 owner complaint, an unverified report, with 1 crash and 1 injury reported. Steering and power train each appear once among complaint areas; those category entries do not represent separate complaints.
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 completion of the applicable air bag recall by VIN.
- Check turn-signal and high-beam control operation and recall repair records.
- Ask about steering or power-train problems and any crash repairs.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any RAM dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
