DODGE RAM 3500 Recalls

The Dodge Ram 3500 has 3 recalls spanning 2003 to 2012, with the most serious being a passenger front airbag inflator defect on 2003, 2004, and 2005 models where the inflator can rupture during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin, potentially causing serious injury. The 2003 model year and 2004-2005 model years share this same airbag inflator failure mode, though the 2004-2005 recall specifically applies to vehicles originally sold or registered in high-humidity regions. In both cases, a crash that triggers the passenger frontal airbag can cause the inflator to burst rather than deploy normally. On the transmission side, certain 2012 models built between May and August of that year have a loose snap ring inside the automatic transmission that can cause a sudden loss of drive power, leaving the vehicle unresponsive to throttle input and raising the risk of a collision.
