CanadaCertain 2021–2022 Ram 3500 and 2021–2022 Ram 1500 light trucks and vans are affected; owners can recognise affected vehicles by those model names and model years. They were recalled because the steering column control module may not have been manufactured properly, which can prevent the driver-front airbag from inflating and will cause the airbag warning light to turn on. FCA Canada will notify owners in writing and advise taking the vehicle to a dealership to replace the steering column control module.
How to identify it
2021 Ram 3500
2021–2022 Ram 1500
The hazard
On a small number of vehicles, the steering column control module may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the driver-front airbag may not inflate in a crash.
Note: This problem would cause the airbag warning light to turn on.
An airbag that is turned off could increase the risk of injury in a crash.
What to do
FCA Canada will notify owners in writing and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the steering column control module.
