Australian Ram 1500s involved in global recall of 1.5 million pickups
Nearly 1300 Ram 1500s in Australia have been caught up in a global recall, impacting almost 1.5 million vehicles in total.
Ram Trucks Australia has announced the recall of 1262 examples of the 1500 pickup, due to a fault which could lead some of the rear seatbelts to not operate correctly in a crash.
"Due to a manufacturing defect, the second-row centre and left-side seat belt buckle anchors may not meet specifications. As a result, the seatbelts may not operate as intended," Ram said in its recall notice.
"In the event of an accident, a seat belt not operating as intended could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants."
The recall impacts 2026 Model Year examples of the 1500, amid a global recall of the pickup for an identical fault, believed to impact nearly 1.5 million pickups.

Owners with an affected Ram 1500 will be contacted by American Special Vehicles (Ram's trading name) to contact their authorised Ram dealer to have the rectification completed, free of charge.
