1995 DODGE RAM Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1995 Dodge Ram has 13 recalls, with the most serious issues including a steering shaft that can separate and cause complete loss of steering control, front suspension towers that can crack and break away from the frame, and a throttle cable on diesel models that can fray and cause unintended acceleration. Several recalls involve fire risk. Automatic transmission fluid lines can disconnect under heavy load and spray fluid onto the exhaust manifold, and on V10 manual transmission four-wheel-drive models, clutch fluid can drip onto hot exhaust components. Gasoline-engine trucks also have a fuel rollover valve that can leak fuel onto the ground near potential ignition sources. A hood latch defect appears in two related recalls: a binding secondary latch rod can prevent full engagement, and corrosion in salt-belt states can compromise the primary latch, either way leaving the hood free to fly open and block the driver's view. On diesel models, the brake vacuum hoses can absorb engine oil, deteriorate, and collapse, reducing power brake assist and increasing stopping distances. The ignition switch and wiring can overheat when the blower runs on high for extended periods. One recall covers an emissions warranty documentation issue in certain Ram 3500 trucks sold in Canada.
