Ram 1500 Recalled for Missing B-Pillar Impact Sensors

Chrysler is recalling 2022 Ram 1500 vehicles because missing B-pillar impact sensors may prevent air bags from deploying in a crash.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety-critical component (air bags) where failure increases the risk of injury in a crash, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Ram 1500 vehicles due to a defect in the side impact air bag system. The B-pillar impact sensors may be missing from these vehicles.

If the B-pillar impact sensors are missing, the air bags may deploy late or not deploy at all during a crash. Air bags that do not deploy as intended increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Dealers will inspect the vehicles and, if necessary, install the B-pillar impact sensors free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 4, 2023. Owners may contact FCA US, LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
