What is wrong
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2026 Ram 1500 vehicles. A connector for the driver and front passenger side air bags may not be secured properly, which can cause the air bags not to deploy as intended. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and 214, "Side Impact Protection."
The risk
A side air bag that does not deploy as intended increases the risk of injury in a crash.
Why air bag defects matter: An air bag that fails to deploy, deploys late or inflates abnormally takes away protection the occupant is relying on in a crash.
The remedy
Dealers will inspect and repair the sensor connections, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 27, 2026. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is 94D. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on October 6, 2026.
About the air bags
An air bag system is a chain of parts — crash sensors, a control module, wiring, the inflator and the cushion. A fault anywhere in that chain can stop a bag from deploying, deploy it when it should not, or change how it inflates.

Check by VIN
A campaign rarely covers every vehicle of a model year. Enter your 17-character VIN to find the recall campaigns filed for your make, model and model year. The VIN is on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the door-jamb label, and on your registration and insurance documents.
Is a recall still open on your vehicle? Only NHTSA’s official VIN check can say whether a campaign applies to your exact vehicle and whether the repair has already been done.
Your VIN is decoded with NHTSA’s public vPIC service to identify the make, model and year. It is not stored and is not added to any page address.
