AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2026 Ram 1500 vehicles. A connector for the driver and front passenger side air bags may not be secured properly, which can cause the air bags 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" and 214, "Side Impact Protection."
- What it can cause
- A side air bag that does not deploy as intended increases the risk of injury in a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and repair the sensor connections, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 27, 2026. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is 94D. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on October 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 5 vehicles this is a small campaign: 95% of the 19,848 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one are as large or larger. The middle campaign among them covers 472. It covers one model year, 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2026, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Ram vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 24 times before this, most recently in December 2025 as 25V882000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 105 complaints with NHTSA, 54 of them before this campaign was filed. 3 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 September 2025, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 8 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V623000 (tires), 26V560000 (back over prevention), 26V531000 (back over prevention), 26V495000 (seat belts).
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 September 29, 2026 as campaign 26V622000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
