Stellantis recalls 72,509 Ram vehicles over instrument cluster display blackout

Stellantis has announced a recall of 72,509 Ram vehicles in the United States due to a software issue that can cause the instrument cluster display to shut off. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported the move, citing a notice the company submitted to the agency.

The problem is described as a software fault within the instrument cluster: in certain situations, the screen may go completely black or blank. For drivers, that can mean losing the visual data the cluster normally provides—from speed and warnings to various system statuses, depending on configuration. Even a brief blackout can be unnerving behind the wheel, given how much day-to-day driving relies on those readouts.

The filing also specifies the number of affected vehicles: 72,509.

As is typical in such cases, the remedy will likely come down to a software update—applied at dealerships or over the air if the vehicle architecture allows. The exact fix and the list of impacted versions, however, will depend on the details laid out in the NHTSA campaign materials and accompanying documentation.
