What happened

Chrysler is recalling certain 2013-2016 Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and 2014-2016 Ram 3500 vehicles because a fault in the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) can disable the rollover side curtain air bags and seat belt pretensioners. This fault may occur when certain driving conditions—such as off-road driving or debris striking the vehicle—cause the roll rate sensor to trigger an error. When these safety systems are disabled, occupants face an increased risk of injury if a crash occurs that would normally activate these restraints.

To remedy this issue, Chrysler dealers will update the ORC software at no cost to vehicle owners. The recall began on June 26, 2017. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 to schedule the software update, and should reference recall number T25.
