Check by VIN
A campaign rarely covers every RAM 2500 of a given 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.

Common questions
Does the RAM 2500 have recalls?
Yes. NHTSA lists 66 safety recall campaigns for the RAM 2500, covering model years 2009–2026. Most involve electrical system, air bags and rear-view camera.
Which RAM 2500 model year has the most recalls?
On NHTSA’s records the 2014 RAM 2500 has the most campaigns, with 14. A higher count does not by itself mean a less safe vehicle: some campaigns are small compliance fixes, and newer models have had less time to accumulate campaigns.
How do I find out if my RAM 2500 is affected?
Choose your model year below to read each campaign, then check your VIN on NHTSA’s lookup. Campaigns usually cover a production range, so two cars of the same year can differ.
