- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2019, 2021-2024 Ram 1500 vehicles.

- What it can cause
- Driving with a disabled electronic stability control system can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the ABS control module software, free of charge. Interim notification letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed October 10, 2024. Owner notification letters were mailed beginning September 26, 2024. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is 85B.

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

Ram vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 10 times before this, most recently in October 2022 as 22V759000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
