FCA US LLC has decided that certain [2025 (DJ) RAM 2500 Pickup, 2025 (D2) RAM 3500
Pickup, 2025 (DD) RAM 3500 Cab Chassis, 2025 (DP) RAM 4500/5500 Cab Chassis] vehicles
fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Nos. 126 Electronic
stability control systems for light vehicles and 208 Occupant crash protection.
It is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and
your passengers.
WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS?
The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) module on your vehicle [1] may go into an offline state
while driving. An ORC module in an offline state may disable Electronic Stability Control
(ESC) and may not command airbag or pretensioner deployment. Failure of the ORC module
to command airbag and/or pretensioner deployment can increase the risk of injury in
certain crashes. Failure of the ESC can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.
The condition above fails to comply with the requirements of FMVSS No. 126 requires
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) to be active while driving. An ORC module in an offline state
may disable ESC. FMVSS No. 208 requires driver's airbag deployment during certain crash
events. An ORC module in an offline state may not command airbag or pretensioner deployment
in those crashes.
HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE?
FCA US LLC will repair your vehicle [2] free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer
will update the ORC module software. The estimated repair time is 15 minutes. In addition, your
dealer will require your vehicle for proper check-in, preparation, and check-out during your
visit, which may require more time. Your time is important to us, so we recommend that you
schedule a service appointment to minimize your inconvenience. Ask your dealer for alternate
transportation options while your vehicle is in service. Please bring this letter with you to your
dealership.
TO SCHEDULE YOUR FREE REPAIR,
CALL YOUR CHRYSLER, JEEP®, DODGE OR RAM DEALER TODAY

your nearest dealer, and more through
