2022 Ram 5500 Recalls & Complaints

The 2022 RAM 5500 has 4 recalls, the most serious involving two separate fire risks tied to the Cummins 6.7L turbo diesel engine: an electrical relay can short-circuit and start a vehicle fire whether the ignition is on or off.

A second relay, the heater grid relay, carries the same risk of an engine compartment fire with the ignition in any state. Both fire-related recalls affect diesel-equipped trucks only. There is also an engine control module concern on diesel models where an internal short can cut drive power while the truck is moving, raising crash risk. On the safety equipment side, a steering column control module fault can prevent the driver's airbag from deploying in a crash.
