AIR BAGS
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2019-2024 Ram 1500 vehicles. The driver's side air bag may not be connected properly, which can cause the air bag not to deploy as intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
- What it can cause
- A driver's side air bag that does not deploy as intended increases the risk of injury in a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers secured the connectors for the air bag, free of charge. All vehicles have been remedied. Owner notification letters were mailed May 27, 2025. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is 08C.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 888-327-4236 (TTY 888-275-9171) or go to 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 71 vehicles this is a small campaign: 74% 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 2019 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ram vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 19 times before this, most recently in January 2025 as 25V010000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 6 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 3,620 complaints with NHTSA, 2,573 of them before this campaign was filed. 155 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 June 2018, 6 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 39 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V495000 (seat belts), 26V327000 (back over prevention), 25V824000 (air bags), 25V765000 (air bags).
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.
Filed by Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) with NHTSA on May 8, 2025 as campaign 25V298000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
