ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL

Manufacturer
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
What Happened
The instrument cluster in your Ram pickup is the screen that shows you important information like your gear selection and warning lights. In some 2025-2026 models, a software glitch might cause this display to fail.
Risk if Unfixed
If the instrument panel display fails, you won't be able to see critical safety information on the road, like your gear selection or warning lights. This increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your authorized Ram dealer will update the instrument panel software for free, so you can get back to driving safely. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice – it's on the house, so don't worry about the cost.
