Chrysler recalls over 450,000 vehicles. See impacted models.

Key 2026 Ram Recall Details:

Trailer Tow Module (Fire/Brake Risk): A recall announced in February 2026 affects 2025-2026 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500, and 5500, along with 2024-2026 Jeep Wagoneer S and 2026 Jeep Cherokee models. Improperly designed trailer tow modules may cause trailer brakes to fail or stop lights from illuminating, increasing crash risk.

A quick search showed -- In 2024, GM issued a recall affecting approximately 721,000 trucks and SUVs due to potential engine failures related to the 6.2-liter V8 engine.

Ford is recalling over 355,000 trucks, including the 2025 F-150 and 2025-2026 Super Duty models, due to a defect in the instrument panel display that may fail to show critical information.

I don't think any manufacturer is immune to recalls these days.

I really like my Ram and wouldn't hesitate (especially with the longer warranty) to buy another.

I never thought I would say this, but the Ram trucks are getting my attention due to the increasingly superior reliability and longevity prospects of their drivetrains.

I am becoming increasingly convinced that they are all the same and its mostly up to your driving and maintenance habits as to how long a vehicle will last.

But for the style and features you like and get an extended warranty. They are all the same reliability wise now.

Trucks are trash now so get the one with the 10-yr warranty.

It's a no brainer to get the RAM and it also looks better than all the others.

If you don't do the ford recall. You don't get an alert in the dash. If you don't do the Dodge recall, It burns your house to the ground. There is no planet in this universe where I could find it acceptable to choose a Dodge truck over my Fords.

According to consumer reports, the problems with the Rams are mostly with the electronics/infotainment. The 10 year warranty is great, but it doesn't cover the main source of the gremlins.

I'm probably about to buy a Ram for the first time in my life. I think they look the best, and everyone has issues now so might as well take the warranty.

that 10 year warranty is on drivetrain and engine. probably a reason it is that long as that portion is not breaking. Now the electronics is where i would be worried on any new vehicle now days.

So dumb.

This is about as intelligent the senile old man in the corner at the bar drooling on himself lamenting the days of segregation.

You can just say you are ignorant to trucks today and don't like better styling for a cheaper price than your Ford that will break down shortly.
