NHTSA Complaint #11701623 — 2022 RAM 1500

The onboard computer system, despite detecting a burnt out tail light, did not alert me. I happened to notice the tail light was not on because I remote started the vehicle, which turns on certain lights to indicate successful remote start, and I happened to notice the discrepancy in lighting when I walked up behind the vehicle. The fact that the on board computer system knew the light was out, and did not inform me could have put myself, my occupants, and others on the road at risk of collision and injury due to reduced marking lighting. Upon discovering the issue, I drove to the nearest auto parts store and purchased and installed a replacement bulb. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance, etc. There were no warning messages or lamps, however a scan with an OBD reader at a later date revealed a "conformed fault code" "B16D7-15 Left taillamp 1 Control-Circuit Short to Battery or Open"
