Ram Recalls
Check open Ram recalls by VIN. CheckMyVIN queries NHTSA's live recall API on every lookup — no stale snapshots, no signup.
How Ram recall lookups work
When you enter a Ram VIN, CheckMyVIN first decodes the vehicle (make, model, model year) against NHTSA VPIC. Those three fields are then sent to the NHTSA recallsByVehicle API, which returns every open campaign on file. Each result shows the official NHTSA campaign number (format: two-digit year, "V" for vehicle, six-digit sequence — e.g. 19V472000), the affected component, a paraphrased plain-English summary, and the dealer remedy. Ram dealers perform recall work at no charge regardless of who currently owns the vehicle.
Why check Ram recalls before buying used?
A used-car dealer is not required to complete open recalls before sale in most US states. Run the VIN before the test drive — if a recall is open, you can either ask the dealer to complete it before delivery, negotiate the price, or schedule the free fix at a Ram authorized dealer after purchase.
Notable past Ram recall campaigns
A few well-documented campaigns to show the kind of data CheckMyVIN surfaces per VIN. Click any campaign number for the full record on nhtsa.gov. Summaries below paraphrase the official NHTSA records — verify against the source for the authoritative wording.
NHTSA campaign 19V067000
Service brakes, hydraulic: pedals and linkages
2019 Ram 1500 with adjustable pedals
On these trucks the brake pedal can travel too far and separate from the pedal assembly; if it separates, the driver may be unable to brake, sharply raising crash risk. Dealers inspect and repair the adjustable-pedal assembly at no charge.
NHTSA campaign 20V043000
Power train: automatic transmission (68RFE fluid leak)
2019-2020 Ram 2500 / 3500 with the 6-speed (68RFE) automatic
Heat and pressure buildup in the 68RFE transmission can push fluid out of the dipstick tube; the leaking fluid can reach the turbocharger or another ignition source and start a fire. Dealers update the transmission and address the venting at no charge.

What CheckMyVIN does not do
Some recalls are VIN-specific within a model year — only certain build dates or option packages are affected. NHTSA's public API returns the campaign for the year/make/model; for the final "is my exact VIN affected" answer, Ram also publishes a VIN-specific lookup on their owners site, and you can search any campaign number on the NHTSA recall portal. CheckMyVIN cites every campaign by its official number so you can verify independently.
