The short answer

From NHTSA’s files, copied Oct 19, 2026.

A recall covers the vehicles it names, by build date where NHTSA gives one. Your VIN says which are open on yours.

Is your vehicle in one of these recalls?

No public file says which recalls are still open on one vehicle. NHTSA’s lookup does, from its VIN.

17 letters and numbers, at the bottom of the windshield on the driver’s side. VINs never use I, O or Q.

The VIN goes to NHTSA, never to Hearth Record.

What recalls name it?

8 recalls for the 2023 Ram 2500 in NHTSA’s file, newest first. Each covers the vehicles it names; your VIN says if yours is one.

NHTSA advises some owners not to drive it, or to park it outside: see below.

Safety technology, as NHTSA lists it

  • Forward collision warning: optional.
  • Lane departure warning: optional.
  • Crash imminent braking: optional.
  • Dynamic brake support: optional.

What the record doesn’t say

  • Which recalls are still open on one vehicle: only NHTSA’s lookup, with its VIN, says that.
  • Ratings are for the versions NHTSA tested. Other cabs, engines and drives can rate differently.
  • How serious each complaint was, or whether it was confirmed: complaints aren’t findings.
