Ram truck recalls by model year
Ram trucks and vans appear in 147 NHTSA campaigns from 2016 to 2025 and 14 in 2026 so far. The Ram 1500 leads with 45 campaigns since 2021.
Ram became a separate make in NHTSA's records when Chrysler split it from Dodge for the 2011 model year, so its campaigns since then are filed by FCA US under the Ram name. NHTSA's file holds 147 vehicle campaigns naming Ram between 2016 and 2025, 23 million vehicle notices, and 14 more in 2026. A large share are heavy-duty: the 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500 chassis cabs are listed as separate models and each campaign on the Cummins diesel or the commercial chassis names several of them. Since 2021 the Ram 1500 appears in 45 campaigns, the 2500 in 34 and the 3500 in 31; the ProMaster van follows with 17. The electrical system and the power train are the systems recalled most, ahead of air bags and rearview cameras. 25 campaigns in 2019 make it Ram's busiest year.

The campaign that reached almost five million Stellantis vehicles
The largest campaign naming Ram, 18V332000, received on May 17, 2018, covered 4.8 million vehicles of several Stellantis brands: a cruise control that could not be cancelled after a short circuit, on 2014 to 2018 Ram pickups, Dodge Charger, Durango and Journey, Chrysler 300 and Jeep models. The remedy was a software update of the powertrain control module. It shows why Ram owners should read Jeep and Dodge campaigns too: the same modules are fitted across the group.
Heavy-duty trucks and their own recalls
Heavy-duty Rams have no EPA mileage label and most have no NCAP rating, so for them the recall list is the main federal record. Campaigns on the 2500 and 3500 often concern towing equipment, steering linkages, diesel fuel systems and, on chassis cabs, the parts an upfitter adds. When a body builder adds a dump bed or a service body, the upfitter becomes responsible for recalls on what it installed; those appear under the upfitter's name, not Ram's.
Checking a Ram 1500
The light-duty pickup has its own page: the Ram 1500 page lists campaigns for every model year since 2012, with crash ratings and EPA mpg. Note that NHTSA kept the previous generation, sold alongside the new one as the 1500 Classic, under a separate model name in several campaigns. The Jeep and Dodge pages show the campaigns shared across Stellantis.
