Which Ram 1500 recall matters most?
The seat belt anchor recall (26V495) is the broadest. It covers trucks going back to the 2019 model year, when the current-generation Ram 1500 launched.
NHTSA says the second-row center and left-side buckle anchors "may have been improperly installed" and "may fail to properly restrain occupants, increasing the risk of injury during a crash." Dealers will inspect them and attach the anchors to the body structure where needed.
Why does my Ram's backup camera go blank?
Two separate recalls cover this:
- 26V560: 239,130 2025–2026 Ram 1500s, where a radio software error may stop the rearview camera image from displaying. Owner letters went out September 24, Work Truck Online reported.
- 26V531: 844,027 vehicles across Jeep, Ram, Chrysler and Dodge, including the 2026 Ram 1500.
Both are fixed with a radio software update, over the air or at a dealer.
Which recalls are newest?
Two were filed on September 29, 2026, with owner letters expected October 27:
