Stellantis (FCA US, LLC) is recalling approximately 2,885 units of its 2026 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups, as well as 3500, 4500, and 5500 Chassis Cabs, due to an instrument panel that may display an incorrect brake system warning light. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 101, “Controls and Displays.”
An incorrect warning light may fail to alert the driver to critical safety information, increasing the risk of a crash. Some Heavy Duty vehicles may have been built with the incorrect 3.5-inch Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC), which displays the ISO symbol brake system warning light instead of the required “BRAKE” light.
Vehicles affected are as follows:
| Model | Units Produced | Production Start | Production End |
|---|---|---|---|
| 26MY Ram 2500 | 2,453 | May 06, 2025 | Jul 31, 2025 |
| 26MY Ram 3500 | 352 | Jul 04, 2025 | Jul 31, 2025 |
| 26MY Ram 3500 Chassis Cab | 69 | Apr 03, 2025 | Jul 31, 2025 |
| 26MY Ram 4500/5500 Chassis Cab | 11 | Apr 04, 2025 | Jul 31, 2025 |
Similar vehicles not included in this recall were built after the suspect period or with a different cluster.
Marelli North America Inc. is the supplier of the cluster (Part Nos. 68740411AB, 68740411AC, 68740412AB, 68740412AC).
