The 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving the front airbag inflators on both the driver and passenger sides, which can rupture in a crash and send metal fragments into the cabin.
On the steering side, this recall only affects 4x4 models: the left tie rod assembly can break and cause a sudden loss of steering control. There is also an ignition concern limited to trucks with manual transmissions, where a broken return spring in the clutch interlock switch can either prevent the engine from starting or allow the vehicle to move unexpectedly when the key is turned.
