Curtain air bag inflators on the 2019 trucks
The 2019 Ram 1500 collects campaigns on side curtain air bag inflators that could rupture because of a manufacturing defect, on air bags that might not be connected, and on seat belt buckle anchors. An air bag inflator campaign is one to complete without delay, whatever the age of the truck. The air bag inflator guide explains why.
EcoDiesel campaigns
The 3.0 liter EcoDiesel offered on the 1500 from 2014 has its own campaigns, shared with the Jeep Grand Cherokee: EGR coolers that could crack and start a fire, high-pressure fuel pumps that could fail, and crankshaft position sensor tone wheels that could stall the engine. If you buy a diesel 1500, check those first. The Grand Cherokee page lists the same campaigns from the Jeep side.
Stability control and cameras on recent trucks
A 2024 campaign covered trucks whose anti-lock brake module software could disable electronic stability control, and several concerned rearview cameras that could short and stop displaying. The latest campaign naming the 1500, 26V623000, received on September 29, 2026, concerns the tires of 2026 trucks. The Ram page covers the heavy-duty trucks and vans.
