Chrysler Recalls 65K Ram Trucks for Software Glitch

0:00Chrysler just issued a recall for 65,348 RAM pickup trucks from the 2025 and 2026 model years. We're talking RAM, 1500, a 2500, 3500 pickups, plus the 3500, 4500, and 5500, 100 cab chassis models. The problem stems from a software glitch in the instrument panel that can black out key info like your gear position and warning lights. This glitch bumps up crash risks because drivers might not see critical safety details. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says these trucks don't meet federal standards for things like transmission shift positions, break, systems, lamps, stability control, tire pressure monitoring, and crash protection. Owners are urged to act fast since losing that display info could lead to serious accidents on the road. No crashes or injuries reported yet, but the potential is real for these heavy duty workhorses that folks rely on daily.
