ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Ram 1500 Pickup, Ram 2500 Pickup, Ram 3500 Pickup, Ram 3500 Cab Chassis, Ram 4500 Cab Chassis, and Ram 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles. A software error may cause the instrument panel display to fail. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards numbers 102, "Transmission Shift Position Sequence," 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems," 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment," 126, "Electronic Stability Control Systems for Light Vehicles," 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems," 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring System," and/or 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
- What it can cause
- An instrument panel display that fails to show critical safety information, such as gear selection and warning lights, increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the instrument panel software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 5, 2026. Owners may contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is 35D. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning April 16, 2026.
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 65,348 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 90% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2025 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ram vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 18 times before this, most recently in December 2025 as 25V826000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 6 of the 10 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 555 complaints with NHTSA, 338 of them before this campaign was filed. 295 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in June 2024, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 14 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V560000 (back over prevention), 26V531000 (back over prevention), 26V495000 (seat belts), 26V421000 (exterior lighting).
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 April 9, 2026 as campaign 26V225000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
