The short answer

NHTSA received Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)’s report on Sep 29, 2026. Copied from NHTSA on Nov 1, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

A side air bag that does not deploy as intended increases the risk of injury in a crash.

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2026 Ram 1500 vehicles.

A connector for the driver and front passenger side air bags may not be secured properly, which can cause the air bags not to deploy as intended.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, “Occupant Crash Protection” and 214, “Side Impact Protection.”

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt. Owners’ complaints are counted on each vehicle’s page.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
