POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)
- The defect
- Chryser (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2023-2026 Ram 2500 Pick up trucks. A software error in the powertrain control module may improperly allow the vehicle speed to exceed the tire speed rating, which can result in a loss of vehicle control.
- What it can cause
- Loss of vehicle control increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the powertrain control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 21, 2026. Owners may contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is 43D. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning May 14, 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 12,736 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 81% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ram vehicles have been recalled over the power train 27 times before this, most recently in May 2025 as 25V297000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 187 complaints with NHTSA, 134 of them before this campaign was filed. 21 of those name the power train, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in July 2023, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 16 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V531000 (back over prevention), 26V327000 (back over prevention), 26V244000 (electronic stability control (esc)), 26V225000 (electrical system).
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 7, 2026 as campaign 26V288000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
