2015 RAM 1500 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2015 RAM 1500 has 11 recalls, the most serious being multiple fire and crash risks: an EGR cooler that can crack and ignite fuel vapors inside the intake manifold, and a battery harness that can short against the frame and start a fire — both affecting 3.0L diesel models. Several other diesel-specific issues round out the drivetrain concerns. A crankshaft position sensor component can delaminate and cause the engine to stall without warning, and a high-pressure fuel pump can shed debris into the fuel system, cutting power while driving. On the axle side, certain rear axle shafts can fracture and allow a wheel to separate from the truck, with a separate but related issue where axle shaft heat buildup can damage nearby wiring and trigger the ABS warning light. Steering is also a concern: the electric power steering control board can short or become contaminated, causing the system to drop out and require significantly more effort to steer, particularly at low speeds. For occupant protection, off-road driving or road debris can trick the rollover sensor into disabling the side curtain airbags and seatbelt pretensioners, and on Quad Cab models, the side curtain airbags may not fully cover the rear pillar in a crash. There is also a power tailgate latch that can fracture and allow the tailgate to swing open at speed, sending cargo into traffic.
