What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE

What Happened

The occupant restraint controller module is a critical computer system that controls your air bag and seat belt. In some 2025 Ram 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500 trucks, this system has a software problem that could cause it to fail.

Risk if Unfixed

If this system fails, your driver's side air bag won't deploy in a crash, and you'll lose electronic stability control. This means you'll have a hard time controlling your vehicle, and you're at a higher risk of getting hurt or crashing.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your Ram dealer will update the software in the occupant restraint controller module for free. This is a no-cost repair, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
