SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER:ANCHORAGE
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2019-2026 Ram 1500 vehicles. The second-row seat belt buckle anchors may have been improperly installed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."
- What it can cause
- An improperly installed seat belt buckle anchor may fail to properly restrain occupants, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and attach the seat belt buckle anchor to the body structure as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 18, 2026. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is 67D. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov on August 6, 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 1,271,294 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 99% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were 7 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ram vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 8 times before this, most recently in June 2026 as 26V357000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 8 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 4,026 complaints with NHTSA, 3,866 of them before this campaign was filed. 53 of those name the seat belts, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in June 2018, 8 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 48 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V560000 (back over prevention), 26V531000 (back over prevention), 26V421000 (exterior lighting), 26V327000 (back over prevention).
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 July 30, 2026 as campaign 26V495000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
