ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.
17 safety recall campaigns, 5 defect investigations (3 open), 1,951 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.
Fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
A separated inflator end cap or inflator rupture can allow compressed gas to escape, resulting in the end cap or other components being propelled into the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.
Combustion in the intake manifold can increase the risk of a fire.
If the tailgate opens while the vehicle is being driven, cargo may fall out the vehicle and create a road hazard, increasing the risk of crash.
Two 2015 RAM 1500s can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
