2020 RAM 1500 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2020 RAM 1500 has 11 recalls, the most serious being a high-pressure fuel pump failure on 3.0L diesel models that can cut engine power or stall the truck without warning, raising the risk of a crash. On the safety systems side, the memory in the occupant restraint controller can become corrupted, disabling both airbags and seatbelt pretensioners so neither works in a crash. Separately, the driver's side airbag may not be properly connected and can fail to deploy. A software fault in the anti-lock brake module can also knock out electronic stability control, reducing the truck's ability to handle skids. Trucks with adjustable pedals face another concern: in certain pedal positions, the floormat can trap the accelerator and prevent it from returning to idle, making it harder to slow down. Visibility takes a hit in a few ways. The driver's side mirror glass can detach on trucks equipped with a heated trailer tow mirror, leaving the driver without a rear view to the left. Wiper arms can loosen and fail to clear the windshield in rain or snow. On diesel-equipped trucks, a radio reset while reversing can delay the rearview camera image from appearing on screen.
