Stellantis Recalls 1.5 Million Ram Trucks to Fix Software Bug that Can Disable Stability Control
Date: March 10, 2023
In a major recall, Stellantis, the parent company of Ram, has announced that it will be recalling over 1.5 million Ram trucks in the United States and Canada to fix a software bug that can disable the vehicles’ stability control system. The recall affects certain models of the Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks produced between 2019 and 2022.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the software bug can cause the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system to malfunction, which can lead to a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of accidents. The problem is caused by a faulty software algorithm that can become corrupted, causing the ESC system to shut off or malfunction.
The recall will affect the following models:
- Ram 1500 Classic (2019-2022)
- Ram 1500 (2020-2022)
- Ram 2500 (2019-2022)
- Ram 3500 (2019-2022)
Ram owners can check if their vehicle is affected by the recall by visiting the NHTSA website and using the VIN lookup tool or by contacting their local Ram dealership.
Stellantis has stated that it is not aware of any accidents or injuries caused by the software bug, but is taking proactive measures to fix the issue and ensure the safety of its customers.
