Ram Trucks Australia has recalled 419 examples of the 2500 and 3500 pickups, owing to a software fault which could cause their high-beam headlights to not function properly.
The fault only affects Ram 2500 and 3500s sold in Australia during 2024.
“Due to a software issue in the steering column control module, the high beam headlamps switch may activate the turn signal indicators and the turn signal indicator switches may activate the high beam headlamps,” American Special Vehicles – Ram’s right-hand drive converter – said in its recall notice.
“If the turn signal indicators do not illuminate as intended, other road users would be unable to identify if the vehicle is turning. Non-operational high beam headlamps will result in reduced visibility.
“This could increase the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.”
