The steering column control module may not be welded properly, which can prevent the driver's air bag from deploying in a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

Risk: An air bag that does not deploy in a crash can increase the risk of injury.

Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the steering column control module, as necessary free of charge. Some owner notification letters were mailed April 11, 2024 through June 20, 2024.

Electrical System · reported Nov 2, 2026

My 2024 Ram 3500 DRW (about 23,000 miles) has a recurring water intrusion problem in the cowl and HVAC area. During ordinary rain it collects there while parked outside and then floods out onto the front floor carpet. After a rain on xxx, the air conditioning stopped blowing cold air; when I checked on XXX the cabin filter was completely flooded with water and I replaced it that day. The same flooding recurred after rains on October 14 and again on October 30. I covered the windshield and cowl area before the last rain to try to keep water out, but that did not work. The truck will not fit in…

Engine · reported Sep 24, 2026

The truck has a CEL P2459. The unit was taken back to the dealer on June 15, 2026, and they diagnosed an aftermarket air cleaner and regeneration. The CEL continued to display P2459, and I returned the truck to the dealer on 9/23. The dealer stated I had a defective air cleaner housing and was willing to pay 80% of the cost. They also said the restriction likely caused the DPF filter to plug because it caused excessive DPF generation. I believe this defective air housing may be on multiple units since these are likely purchased in batches. Ram should replace all air cleaner housings from the…

towing control module, brake lights work trailer breaks will not grab, lights on the module do not come on the module has never worked since I bought the 2024 dodge 3500 dually diesel

Suspension · reported Jul 20, 2026

The truck is in for its second front end alignment. I bought it brand new in October 2024 and it has about 43000 miles on it. I'm concerned for my family's safety. If it is going out of alignment this often, I don't feel safe driving it. The dealership has no explanation of why its going out so fast. I know I'm not the only one having this problem. There are thousands of people saying they are having the same issues. It was out of alignment from the factory. Pretty much all of them are. Something needs to be done about this. I put today's date but the first time I took it in was less than a…
