Stellantis, the parent company of Chrysler, announced on Friday that it is recalling more than 1.5 million Ram 1500 pickup trucks globally due to a potential seat belt issue. The recall affects 2019–2026 model-year vehicles that may have been manufactured with improperly attached second-row center or driver-side seat belt buckle anchors.
According to the company, the defect could compromise the effectiveness of the second-row seat belt system, increasing the risk of injury to passengers in the event of a crash. Stellantis said it is aware of one injury that may be linked to the problem.
The recall covers approximately 1.27 million vehicles in the United States, 156,000 in Canada, 15,000 in Mexico, and around 75,000 vehicles in other markets outside North America. Owners of affected vehicles will be notified about the necessary repairs.
