Summary
The 2007 Dodge Ram has 7 recalls, with the most serious being three separate fire and loss-of-control risks: an exhaust silencer pad that can sag and ignite nearby components, fuel tanks that can leak in a crash or from failing straps, and a front driveshaft yoke on two-wheel-drive manual transmission trucks that can break without warning and cause a crash.
The fire concerns span a few different systems. On Ram 2500/3500 trucks with the 6.7L diesel, a sagging silencer pad can contact the exhaust gas recirculation cooler and start an engine compartment fire. Separately, fuel tank issues affect two groups of trucks: certain Ram 1500s with a 34-gallon tank can leak fuel if the vehicle rolls over in a crash, and on other trucks the fuel tank straps can separate and allow the tank to loosen and leak. In both cases, a fuel leak near any ignition source can result in a fire. Two lower-severity recalls round out the list: on Ram 2500/3500 chassis cab trucks, the daytime running lamps may not be functional due to an assembly error, reducing visibility to other drivers. On certain Ram 2500 4x4 diesel models, tire pressure labels show an incorrect front inflation rating, which can lead to improper tire inflation.
