Chrysler Issues Massive Recall for 265,000 Vehicles over Steering Risk
Dealers will inspect and replace wiring harnesses and steering gear free of charge after regulators linked the defect to one non-injury accident.
- Chrysler is recalling 265,512 Ram ProMaster vans from model years 2022-2026 over a steering system defect that could cause loss of power steering assistance, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced.
- Water can seep into the electric power steering wiring harness, damaging electrical components and potentially causing permanent loss of steering assist. Federal regulators initiated a review in September 2025 after receiving complaints about steering systems.
- The recall impacts 44,391 Ram 1500 ProMasters, 147,204 Ram 2500 ProMasters, 72,043 Ram 3500 ProMasters, and 1,874 Ram 3500 EV ProMasters. Local dealerships will inspect and replace the wiring harness and steering gear free of charge.
- Interim notification letters are expected to be mailed to owners on November 17. Stellantis spokesperson Frank Matyok said, "Affected customers will be advised when they may schedule service."
- Chrysler has issued four major recalls in the past month, including Jeep tire pressure monitoring defects, Ram rearview camera malfunctions, and faulty coil springs affecting 328,381 vehicles. This pattern underscores recurring quality challenges for the automaker.
