ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC):CONTROL MODULE
- The defect
- Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2026 Ram 2500 Pickup trucks. The trucks may be equipped with steering column control modules that can cause a loss of electronic stability control. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 126, "Electronic Stability Control Systems."
- What it can cause
- A loss of electronic stability control increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the steering column control module, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 24, 2026. Owners may contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is 90D. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on October 13, 2026. This recall expands previous NHTSA recall number 26V244.
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 8,329 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 78% of the 19,880 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. 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 electronic stability control (esc) 5 times before this, most recently in April 2026 as 26V244000. 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 34 complaints with NHTSA, 26 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 7 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V531000 (back over prevention), 26V288000 (power train), 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 October 6, 2026 as campaign 26V651000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
