Ram 1500

In Canada: generations, trims, common issues, recalls and fuel costs

This guide covers the Ram 1500 across 4 generations from model year 1994. Transport Canada lists 102 recalls for it since the 2000 model year, the latest issued in September 2026 (list read ). The fifth-generation Ram 1500 Sport is a Canada-only trim; Ramtruck.ca marketed it as Canadian-exclusive.

Overview

The Ram 1500 is Stellantis's half-ton pickup, sold as the Dodge Ram 1500 until Ram became its own brand for the 2011 model year. It competes head-on with the F-150 and Silverado for work, towing and family duty, and Canada gets a trim of its own, the Sport. Since 2000 it has moved from leaf springs to a coil-spring rear suspension (2009), added an EcoDiesel V6, and for 2025 swapped the Hemi V8 for a twin-turbo inline-six before bringing the Hemi back for 2026. For owners, Transport Canada has documented Takata airbag and fuel tank strap corrosion recalls on older trucks, shift interlock and tailgate recalls on 2009–2020 trucks, and EcoDiesel EGR cooler and fuel pump recalls. Check that each was done before buying used.

Common issues

Problems a source documents for this model, tagged by what kind of source it is. What each tag means:

Recall
A safety recall. Transport Canada’s list further down has the recall itself, and a dealer can tell you from your VIN whether it applies to your vehicle.
  • Takata airbag inflator replacement

    Recall Model years 2004–2008

    The driver (R25) and passenger (S43) front airbag inflators on these Dodge Rams can rupture in a crash. Transport Canada notes the Canadian climate slows the degradation, but check the replacements were done.[15][16][17]

  • Front fuel tank strap bracket could corrode

    Recall Model years 2009–2012

    Corrosion of the frame bracket could let the front fuel tank strap loosen, so the tank drops and could hit the ground and leak. Dealers add a reinforcement bracket (U04).[18]

  • Rear axle pinion nut could loosen

    Recall Model years 2011–2012

    A loose pinion nut could let the driveshaft detach or the differential lock the rear wheels. Dealers fit a pinion nut retainer (N08); a new clunk or driveline noise on an older truck is worth a look.[19]

  • Steering wheel wiring could fire the driver airbag

    Recall Model years 2012–2014

    On trucks with the electronic vehicle information centre, the steering wheel harness could rub through and short, deploying the driver airbag without a crash. Dealers secure the harness and add protective caps (R36).[20]

  • Column shifter could leave Park without the brake

    Recall Model years 2009–2018

    On trucks with a column-mounted shifter the brake transmission shift interlock could stop working, letting the lever leave Park without the brake pressed or the key in. Dealers replace the interlock and update the body control module (T79, U11).[21][22]

  • Tailgate could open while driving

    Recall Model years 2013–2020

    Power-locking tailgates on 2013–2018 trucks (V44) and tailgate strikers on 2019–2020 trucks (ZB8) could let the gate unlatch on the road. Dealers modify the lock or adjust the strikers.[23][24]

  • EcoDiesel EGR cooler and fuel pump recalls

    Recall Model years 2014–2019

    The 3.0 L EcoDiesel EGR cooler could crack internally, showing up as coolant loss or weak cabin heat, with a fire risk (VB1). A separate recall replaces high-pressure fuel pumps that could fail and cut power (Z46).[25][26]

  • Stability control could switch off

    Recall Model years 2019–2024

    A software fault could disable electronic stability control, lighting the ABS, ESC and driver-assistance warnings. Dealers update the ABS module software (75B).[27]

    Issue. On certain vehicles built between July 1, 2009 and November 30, 2009, the rear axle pinion nut may have been incorrectly manufactured and could loosen. If the pinion nut was to separate from the pinion, the rear driveshaft could become detached from the rear axle, or fully detached from the vehicle. Pinion nut separation could also cause the rear axle differential to fail suddenly, causing rear wheel lockup. These issues could result in loss of propulsion, danger to other road users, loss of vehicle control and possible crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

    Issue, risk and remedy

    Issue. On certain 2008-2011 Ram 2500 and 3500 4x4, Ram 3500 cab chassis 4x2 and 4x4, and 2008 Ram 1500 Mega Cab 4x4 vehicles, the left outer tie rod ball stud could fracture. Additionally, other 2003-2008 Ram vehicles may have received the affected tie rod as a replacement part during service, and are therefore also involved in this campaign. Although this condition tends to occur when making a tight turn during low speed parking lot type maneuvers, tie rod failure could result in a loss of directional stability. A loss of steering control could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

    Corrective action. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the left outer tie rod end and tighten the track bar bolt. Note: The tie rod replacement portion of this recall was superseded by recall 2013-396.

    1500 2004–2008
    Manufacturer’s no.
    S43
    Issue, risk and remedy

    Issue. On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury.

    Corrective action. Dealers will replace the airbag inflator. Note: Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected.

    Manufacturer’s no.
    R25
    Issue, risk and remedy

    Issue. On certain vehicles, the driver frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Note: This recall supersedes special service campaign 2015-003.

    Corrective action. Dealers will replace airbag inflators. All vehicles having received a replacement inflator as part of the previous special service campaign will have a replacement inflator installed.

Canada notes

  • The fifth-generation Ram 1500 Sport is a Canada-only trim; Ramtruck.ca marketed it as Canadian-exclusive.[3][7]
  • Where U.S. buyers in Texas get the Lone Star, Canadian buyers get the same truck as the Big Horn.[3]
  • No Ram 1500 has been built in Canada: fourth-generation trucks came from Warren, Michigan and Saltillo, Mexico, and fifth-generation trucks from Sterling Heights, Michigan.[2][3]
