Overview
- The NHTSA recall covers select 2025–2026 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, and 3500/4500/5500 cab-chassis models in the United States.
- A software error can cause the 12-inch digital instrument cluster to go dark at startup or while driving, obscuring gear selection and brake warnings.
- NHTSA notes the failure violates federal display requirements and increases crash risk due to hidden safety indicators.
- Stellantis estimates about 1% of the 72,509 vehicles, roughly 725 trucks, actually exhibit the defect.
- Dealers will reprogram the cluster software or replace the unit at no charge, with dealer notifications sent December 4 and owner letters scheduled for January 8–23, 2026; owners can check eligibility under NHTSA 25V-826 or Mopar B4C/B8C.
