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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 equipped with a steering column gear shifter, the brake transmission shift interlock (BTSI) may become inoperative. This could allow the steering column gear shifter lever to be shifted out of the PARK (P) position without depressing the service brake pedal or having the key in the ignition, which could result in unintended vehicle movement, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.
Corrective action. Dealers will inspect and replace the BTSI as necessary. The Body Control Module (BCM) will also be updated.

- 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.

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.

Fuel economy and cost
Natural Resources Canada’s combined ratings (55% city, 45% highway driving) for the newest model years it has rated. NRCan rates every drivetrain, transmission and package separately, so each row gives the range across them. The yearly cost assumes 20,000 km a year, the distance NRCan’s own fuel consumption search tool assumes, at Statistics Canada’s average self-serve price in Calgary for August 2026: regular 162.3¢/L, premium 188.4¢/L, diesel 210.6¢/L.

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]
Ask Calgary-area shops to quote on your Ram 1500
