What This Recall Means

Component

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL

What Happened

The instrument cluster in your Ram pickup is the display screen that shows you important information like your speed, fuel level, and warning lights. In some 2025-2026 models, this screen might not work properly due to a software glitch.

Risk if Unfixed

If your instrument panel display is blank, you won't get critical information like low fuel or a faulty brake warning, which could cause you to crash or get into an accident.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your Ram dealer will check and update the software or replace the instrument panel display for free. This repair is on the house, so schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.
