The 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 has 4 recalls, the most serious being faulty airbag inflators on both the driver and passenger sides that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin during a crash.
The driver-side and passenger-side frontal airbag inflators share the same underlying defect: in a crash where the airbag deploys, the inflator can burst apart rather than inflate the bag cleanly, with fragments striking the driver or other occupants. On the steering side, this recall applies to 4x4 models: the left tie rod assembly can break, causing a sudden and complete loss of steering control. There is also an ignition concern affecting trucks with manual transmissions, where a return spring inside the clutch interlock switch can break and either prevent the engine from starting or allow the vehicle to move unexpectedly when the ignition is turned.
