Stellantis Recalls 1.5 Million Ram Pickup Trucks Due to Software Issue

Global Recall Affects Certain Trucks Sold in North America

DETROIT — Stellantis is issuing a global recall of approximately 1.5 million Ram pickup trucks to address a software issue that could potentially disable the electronic stability control system.

The recall primarily affects certain Ram trucks sold in North America, including models from the 2019 and 2021 through 2024 model years. The affected trucks are equipped with anti-lock brake (ABS) software that may inadvertently turn off the stability control feature, which manages the throttle and brakes to prevent skidding.

According to Stellantis, the brakes will still function even if the stability control feature is disabled. The company has not reported any crashes or injuries caused by the issue. However, U.S. safety standards require electronic stability control to be active during nearly every phase of driving.

To address the issue, dealers will update the software at no cost to owners. Notification letters will be sent to affected owners starting October 3.
