Auburn Hills, MI – November 6, 2024 – Stellantis (NYSE:STLA), which owns the RAM brand, has recalled 33,777 2025 RAM 1500 pickup trucks with faulty electronic stability systems (ESC).
The defect makes the vehicle less stable, increasing the risk of a crash and injury. This is at least the third stability-related RAM recall this year.
Recall summary
The ESC monitors the speed of the vehicle’s wheels and – if one of them is spinning faster or slower than the others – applies the brakes or reduces the engine’s output. In the affected pickups, the ESC may stop working because of a faulty bearing.
Recall risks
The defect makes the car harder to control, upping the risk of a crash.
Other RAM recalls
This is at least the third time this year ESC issues resulted in a RAM recall. In June, the automaker recalled over 211,000 RAM 2500 and 3500 cars as well Dodge Durangos due to stability issues caused by a software error. In September, the recall was expanded.
Separately, last month, Stellantis recalled close to 130,000 RAM trucks whose turn signals would fail to self-cancel.
The repair
Dealers will replace the wheel bearings if needed. The repair will be free of charge.
Owners should be notified by December 19, 2024.
