AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW:CURTAIN
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Ram 2500, Ram 3500, and 2021 Ram 1500 Classic pickup trucks. The side air bag inflatable curtain (SABIC) assemblies may have been manufactured with the incorrect amount of compressed gas, which can result in an improper air bag deployment.
- What it can cause
- An air bag that deploys improperly can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the SABIC assemblies, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 17, 2022. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is Y99.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 376 vehicles this is a small campaign: 52% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Ram vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 15 times before this, most recently in August 2021 as 21V632000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 5 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 1,201 complaints with NHTSA, 76 of them before this campaign was filed. 39 of those name the air bags, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in November 2020, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 25 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V495000 (seat belts), 25V765000 (air bags), 25V298000 (air bags), 24V754000 (visibility).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
