RAM trucks are being recalled due to concerns that their airbags may not properly deploy.

Over 150 RAM trucks have recently been recalled due to concerns about the potential failure of their airbags to deploy in the event of a crash. This recall was prompted by the discovery of a manufacturing defect in the welding of the steering column, which could prevent the airbags from receiving the necessary signal to deploy during an accident. A total of 166 RAM 1500 DT trucks have been affected by this issue.

Specifically, this recall affects trucks with model years 2023 and 2024. For reference, the 2023 RAM 1500 has a kerb weight of 2550 kg. According to the Australian Government's vehicle recalls database, the failure of the airbags to deploy as intended could greatly increase the risk of injury or even death for those inside the vehicle during a crash. This is a serious concern that needs to be addressed promptly.

If you own one of the affected trucks, it is important to take action and contact your RAM dealer immediately. They will be able to inspect and replace the steering column control module for free, ensuring that your vehicle is safe to drive. Additionally, RAM Australia will also be reaching out to owners of the affected vehicles in writing to provide further instructions and assistance.

We understand that this may be an inconvenience for owners of these trucks, but the safety of our customers is our top priority. We urge all affected owners to take this recall seriously and have their vehicles checked as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we work to resolve this issue and keep our roads safe for everyone.
