2026 RAM 1500 Recall:

Tire Pressure Monitoring System Explained

Certain 2026 RAM 1500 trucks are included in a safety recall involving the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). Under NHTSA recall 26V623000, also known as RAM campaign 51D, the TPMS may fail to detect low tire pressure or illuminate the warning light as intended. This could leave drivers unaware of underinflated tires and increase the risk of a crash.

Milledgeville Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM can help RAM owners check their recall status and arrange service. Because the recall applies only to certain vehicles, owners should verify their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before assuming their truck is affected.

What’s Covered?

The recall addresses a potential failure of the tire pressure monitoring sensors. The affected system may not recognize low tire pressure or activate the dashboard warning light when needed, which does not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138 for tire pressure monitoring systems.

Key recall details include:

• NHTSA recall number: 26V623000
• RAM campaign number: 51D
• Affected vehicles: Certain 2026 RAM 1500 trucks
• Potential safety concern: Low tire pressure may go undetected if the sensors or warning light fail to operate as intended.
• Recall remedy: Dealers will inspect the tire pressure sensors and replace them as necessary, free of charge.

Not every 2026 RAM 1500 is affected. Check your VIN through the NHTSA recall database or the official RAM recall information page to determine whether your truck has an open recall.

Warning Signs and Why TPMS Problems Matter

Your RAM 1500’s Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts you when tire pressure drops too low, but a truck affected by this recall may not display an obvious warning. Check your VIN through the NHTSA recall lookup to confirm whether your vehicle is affected. The following signs may indicate a TPMS issue:

• Persistent warning light: Stays on after correcting tire pressure.
• Flashing warning light: Flashes before staying illuminated, potentially signaling a system fault.
• Missing pressure readings: One or more tires show no pressure data.
• Inconsistent readings: Pressure displays fluctuate or seem inaccurate.
• Delayed warning: The system fails to alert you when a tire is underinflated.
• Low pressure without an alert: A manual check reveals underinflated tires.
• Warning light returns: The light comes back after resetting the system.

Low tire pressure can affect handling, braking, and tire life. Check tire pressures manually with a gauge and schedule an inspection if you suspect a TPMS malfunction. Call our service team at 706-508-6848 for more information.

What Owners Should Do Next

If you own a 2026 RAM 1500, take these steps to determine whether the recall applies to your truck:

• Check your VIN. Enter your 17-character VIN in the NHTSA recall lookup to identify any unrepaired safety recalls.
• Contact our team. If recall 51D appears in your results, contact our dealership to confirm the repair process and schedule service.
• Monitor tire pressure manually. Check all tires with a gauge, even if the dashboard displays no warning.
• Address warning signs promptly. If you suspect a tire is underinflated or damaged, safely stop and assess the situation before continuing to drive.
• Complete the recall repair. The specified inspection and any necessary sensor replacement are covered at no charge under the recall.
