Is there a recall on my Dodge Ram 1500?
To know if there is a recall on your Dodge Ram 1500, you must check your vehicle’s VIN against official recall databases; there may be active recalls for certain model years and production ranges, but not every Ram 1500 is affected.
How recalls for the Ram 1500 work
Vehicle recalls are issued by manufacturers when safety or compliance issues are identified. Recalls are VIN-specific and model-year-specific, meaning only certain units within a generation may be affected. Even within the same pickup line, some Ram 1500s can be recalled while others are not, depending on the exact VIN and production date.
VIN-specific and model-year notices
The VIN encodes information about where and when your Ram 1500 was built, which helps regulators and manufacturers determine whether your specific truck is part of a recall. Because recalls target particular VIN ranges, two Ram 1500s from the same model year can have different recall statuses.
How to check for recalls on your Ram 1500
Use official databases and dealer resources to verify the current recall status of your vehicle. The steps below will guide you through a reliable check.
- Locate your VIN: find the 17-character VIN on the driver-side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the driver's door jamb, your registration, or the insurance card.
- Check the NHTSA recall database: visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s recall lookup and enter your VIN to see any open recalls.
- Visit the official Stellantis/Mopar recall resources: you can also check for Ram-specific recalls through the manufacturer's recall portal or by contacting your local Dodge/Ram dealer with your VIN.
- Review mail and digital notices: manufacturers and dealers sometimes send recall notices to owners; keep an eye on mail and official emails if you’ve registered your vehicle.
- Consult a dealer for confirmation: if you’re unsure of the results online, call or visit a Ram dealership to confirm the current recall status for your VIN.
By verifying your VIN across these official sources, you’ll determine whether your Ram 1500 has an open recall and what the next steps are.
What to do if a recall is found
If a recall is identified for your Ram 1500, it is treated as a safety issue that must be repaired at no cost to you. The following steps will help you navigate the process efficiently.
- Contact a Dodge/Ram dealer to schedule the recall repair and confirm it will be provided free of charge.
- Provide your VIN and, if available, the recall number or campaign description to ensure the correct repair is performed.
- Ask about the repair duration and whether a loaner vehicle or alternative transportation is available if the service will take longer than a day.
- Have the service performed and request a copy of the service record, noting the recall completion and any parts replaced or software updates performed.
After the service, verify that the recall status is updated in the VIN history and that the dealer has marked the recall as completed in official databases.
Summary
Bottom line: there is no blanket answer for every Dodge Ram 1500—recall status is VIN- and model-year-specific. To determine if your truck is affected, check your VIN against official sources such as the NHTSA recall database and your local Ram dealer or Stellantis/Mopar recall portals. If a recall exists, have it repaired at an authorized service center at no cost to you, and keep all documentation for your records.
