Over 1 Million Recalls on 2015-2017 Ram 1500s
Posted on August 9, 2018
A recall has been issued for 1.1 million north American Ram trucks manufactured between 2015 and 2017. The recall is for a fault tailgate latch that could potentially open by itself.
The recall affects trucks equipped with a power latch mechanism and beds of either 5 ft-7 in or 6 ft-4 in in length. Specifically, 2015-2017 Ram trucks equipped with the power latch and beds of either 5 ft-7 in or 6 ft-4 in in length. Trucks with the 8ft truck bed are not affected. Neither are those trucks fitted with a manual locking tailgate instead of a power lock.
Loose load
Apparently the power lock actuator control assembly may be faulty and can fall apart or fail during use. The result could be a load being let loose and potentially falling into the road behind the truck. This is a situation nobody wants so owners are being urged to book their truck in to have the power latch changed for a different one.
If you own a truck affected by this recall, book it in for a service at your nearest Car Nation Canada location. We will check for recall notices and perform any necessary work on your behalf.

The design is definitely of the Ram family. A big front end and high hood and lots of bodywork up front. It is an imposing fascia but not overly so. The rest of the design is kept purposely simple with unfussy panels around the truck and load bed. A solid gate at back completes the look.
