Ram Trucks Australia issues safety recall for 2026 Ram 1500 pickups

Ram Trucks Australia has launched a product safety recall affecting 149 Ram 1500 pickups produced in 2026 due to a defect in the parking and daytime running lights. The notice explains that the lights might fail to illuminate, potentially making the vehicles less visible to other road users and increasing the chance of accidents. Owners of the affected trucks will receive contact from Ram Trucks Australia or their local dealer, and any necessary repairs will be performed at no cost.

This recall follows a larger, worldwide recall in August 2026 that involved more than 1.4 million Ram vehicles because of second-row seat-belt mounting problems. Despite the recall, the Ram 1500 continues to lead Australia’s full-size pickup market in 2026, ahead of rivals such as the Chevrolet Silverado, Toyota Tundra and Ford F-150. Concerned owners can reach an authorised Ram dealer or the Ram Trucks Australia customer centre for assistance.
