Safety score
33/100
Above-average recall-severity risk Lower recall-severity risk than 16% of makes we track.

Ram scores 33 out of 100 (grade D) for recall severity, which ranks it 43 of 52 makes and busier than most brands. The score is the recall-weighted average of its models, so the brands with the most do-not-drive and critical-safety recalls sit at the bottom. How the score works.

In total, NHTSA lists 194 Ram recall campaigns across 8 models for the 2010-2026 model years. The single largest affected 4,815,661 vehicles. The system recalled most often is the electrical system.

A high recall count usually tracks how many cars a brand sells and how long its models have been on the road, not how dangerous they are. The safety score below adjusts for that by weighing how serious and recent each recall is. The table further down breaks every Ram model out so you can see which ones drive the count.
