What this recall means for you

Some 2026 Ram 2500 pickups may have a steering column control module that can cause the electronic stability control system to stop working. Without it, the truck may not help correct skids or loss of control, which fails to meet federal safety standard FMVSS 126 and increases the risk of a crash.

You can also contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall number 90D. This recall expands on earlier NHTSA recall 26V244.
