AIR BAGS
A driver's side air bag that does not deploy as intended increases the risk of injury in a crash.
13 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation (1 open), 891 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.
A driver's side air bag that does not deploy as intended increases the risk of injury in a crash.
Detached mirror glass can reduce driver visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
An unintended tailgate opening while driving may result in a loss of unsecured cargo, possibly creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.
An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.
A rearview camera that does not display an image reduces the driver's rear view, 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.
Two 2020 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.
