RAM 1500 DS, 2500 & 3500 (2023–2024)
What the hazard is
In the event of an accident, the airbag not deploying as intended could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.
What to do
Owners of affected vehicles should contact their nearest authorised RAM dealer to have the SCCM inspected and replaced, free of charge. Owners of affected vehicles will also be contacted in writing by RAM Australia.
Defect
Due to a manufacturing defect, the Steering Column Control Module (SCCM) may have not been welded to the required specifications. As a result, the SCCM could fail to send an airbag deployment signal to the Occupant Restraint Controller preventing the driver's airbag from deploying.
