2016 RAM 3500 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2016 RAM 3500 has 3 recalls, the most serious being two safety-critical issues: AEV-modified cast aluminum wheels that can fracture and cause rapid tire deflation, and curtain airbag inflators that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin. On the AEV-modified trucks, a fractured wheel can cause sudden air loss and loss of vehicle control. The curtain airbag inflators affect both sides of the vehicle and pose a direct injury risk to occupants if the bags deploy. There is also a tailgate concern on trucks equipped with a power locking tailgate: the latch can fail while driving, allowing the tailgate to swing open and drop cargo onto the road.
