What's recalled

Component: Electronic stability control

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2019-2022 Ram 2500 and 2021-2022 Dodge Durango vehicles, and 2019-2022 3500 cab chassis with GVWR less than 10,000 lbs. The ABS control module software may prevent the electronic stability control (ESC) malfunction indicator light from illuminating during certain conditions. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 126, "Electronic Stability Control Systems."

The risk

An ESC malfunction indicator light that fails to illuminate during an electronic stability control problem can increase the risk of a crash.

The remedy and its status

Dealers will update the ABS control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 29, 2022. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA US, LLC's number for this recall is Z20.

Status: NHTSA lists Mar 29, 2022 as the owner-notification date for this campaign.

Ram recall number Z20

NHTSA lists the manufacturer's own recall number for 22V140000 as Z20. Owner letters and dealer service departments often use this code, so a search for "Z20 recall" refers to the same campaign.
