2020 Ram 1500 Problems

The seat belt buckle anchors for the middle and left rear seats may not have been installed correctly, so they do not meet federal seat belt anchorage requirements. In a crash, a loose anchor could fail to hold rear passengers in place and raise the risk of injury.

Fix: The dealer will inspect the second-row seat belt buckle anchors and attach them to the body structure as needed, free of charge.

The driver's side airbag may not be connected correctly, so it might not inflate as designed in a crash. That raises the risk of injury to the driver.

Fix: The dealer will secure the airbag connectors at no cost to you.

The glass on the driver's side heated tow mirror can come loose, which cuts the driver's view behind the vehicle and raises the chance of a crash. The vehicles also no longer meet federal rear-visibility requirements.

Fix: The dealer will replace the mirror glass free of charge.

The tailgate may not latch properly due to misaligned tailgate strikers, which could result in the tailgate opening while driving. An unintended tailgate opening while driving may result in a loss of unsecured cargo, possibly creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will inspect the tailgate striker alignment to the box latch and adjust, if necessary, free of charge.

0L diesel engines. The high pressure fuel pump (HPFP) may fail, causing an engine stall. An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash.

Fix: Dealers will replace the HPFP and inspect and replace additional fuel system components, as necessary, free of charge.

A software error in the radio can stop the rearview camera image from showing on the screen. Without it, the driver has less view behind the vehicle, which raises the risk of a crash.

Fix: The dealer will update the radio software at no cost to you.

The side air bag inflatable curtain (SABIC) inflator end cap may detach from the inflator, or the inflator sidewall may rupture. A separated inflator end cap or inflator rupture can allow compressed gas to escape, resulting in the end cap or other components being propelled into the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury or crash.

Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace as necessary, the SABIC assemblies, free of charge.

The driver side mirror glass can detach from the backing plate and no longer provide a reflective surface. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility." Missing driver side mirror glass reduces visibility and increases the risk of a crash.

Fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver side mirror glass, free of charge.

In the event of a crash, a front seat belt retractor may not properly slow the occupant's forward movement after locking. In the event of a crash, if the front seat belts fail to lock, there is an increased risk of injury.

Fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front seat belt retractors, free of charge.

A software error can keep the rearview camera image on the radio display after the car is out of reverse, which can distract the driver. This increases the risk of a crash and means the vehicle does not meet federal mirror safety rules.

Fix: The dealer will update the radio display software free of charge, or you can choose to receive the update remotely over the air.

In certain pedal positions, the floormat can stop the accelerator pedal from returning to its normal idle position. A pedal that sticks or returns slowly can affect the car's ability to slow down, which raises the risk of a crash.

Fix: The dealer will modify the driver's floormat to remove the chance of pedal interference, and this repair is free of charge.

A part in the side curtain airbag may have been crimped improperly, so it can separate from the inflator when the airbag fires. If that happens in a crash, the airbag may not inflate properly, raising the risk of injury.

Fix: The dealer will replace the side curtain airbag assemblies free of charge.

The windshield wiper arm, or arms, may loosen over time. When that happens the wipers may not work properly in certain weather, which cuts how well you can see the road and raises the risk of a crash.

Fix: The dealer will tighten the wiper nuts at no charge to you.

The airbag control module's memory can become corrupted, which turns off the airbags and seat belt pretensioners. If a crash happens, you may be more likely to be injured.

Fix: The dealer will reprogram or replace the Occupant Restraint Controller at no cost to you.
