The 2026 RAM 5500 has 5 recalls, the most serious involving a trailer tow module that can cause trailer brake lights and turn signals to stop working, leaving other drivers without warning, while the trailer brakes themselves may also fail.
Three recalls center on the instrument panel cluster. A software error can cause the display to go blank entirely, hiding gear selection, warning lights, and other critical information. A separate software issue can cause the brake system warning light to show incorrectly, meaning a real brake problem might not trigger the right alert. On vehicles equipped with a 3.5-inch cluster, the wrong panel may have been installed at the factory, causing brake and parking brake indicators to appear as text instead of the required symbols, which can create confusion in a moment when clarity matters.
