NHTSA Complaint #11719328 — 2026 RAM 1500

Feb 02, 2026 Manufacturer Recall Number03D NHTSA Recall Number26V-059 Recall StatusRecall Incomplete Summary The trailer turn signal will not flash when the vehicle turn signal lever is actuated and the trailer stop lamps will not be activated upon application of the vehicle service brakes. In addition, if equipped, the trailer brakes will not function. Safety Risk Trailer lighting that is not illuminated may result in an approaching vehicle being unaware of the change of direction or speed of the vehicle and trailer which may cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. The loss of trailer brakes can also cause a vehicle crash without a prior warning. Remedy FCA US LLC will conduct a voluntary safety recall to replace the trailer tow module. The manufacturer (warranty service provider) informed me of this safety recall on February 10, 2026 and advised me to get it repaired soon. I called the dealership where I purchased the new vehicle to set up an appointment for repair: Jim Browne Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Dade City, FL. However, their service department was not available, even though there was approximately 15 minutes remaining for their scheduled hours. The representative told me they consistently leave early. I called back when the service department was finally available and was told they are unable to repair the issue related to the safety recall. I notified the manufacturer of the problem with Jim Browne Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram. The representative was unable to help me and escalated the issue to someone else. I was finally contacted this week by a different representative from the manufacturer, but he has not been able to help either. I was advised to contact your organization and then an attorney if your organization cannot help in this matter. I am appalled by the service I’ve received regarding my Ram truck situation and that the dealership and manufacturer do not care about safety issues. I’ve never had problems like this with my other automobiles.
