Ram Recalling 2500 Pickup Trucks That Go Too Fast
Ram is recalling 12,736 versions of the heavy-duty 2023-2026 Ram 2500 pickup truck. The problem has to do with a software error in the powertrain control module that will allow the truck to reach speeds that exceed the tire speed rating. This could lead to a lot of bad things, including losing control of the truck.
Ram dealers will update the powertrain control module software, free of charge. Those owners of the affected 2500s should have letters mailed to them by June 4, 2026. For the time being, customers can contact Ram customer service at 1-800-853-1403.
