The 2026 RAM 3500 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving a faulty trailer tow module that can cause trailer brake lights and turn signals to go dark and trailer brakes to stop working entirely.
Two recalls cover the same instrument panel cluster display, where a software error can cause the screen to go completely blank, leaving the driver without gear selection, warning lights, or other critical readouts. Prior software fixes did not fully resolve the issue, which is why this defect appears in more than one filing. A separate but related display concern involves the brake system warning light showing incorrectly on the instrument panel, meaning the truck may flash a brake warning when none exists or show nothing when a real brake problem is present, either way leaving the driver without reliable information about the brake system's actual condition.
