Affected trucks include the 2015 to 2017 year models of the following pickups:Subscribe to our weekly newsletter Ram 1500 Ram 2500 Ram 3500 Trucks with 8-foot beds or manual tailgate locks are not included in the recall. Likewise, newer models are not affected thanks to a newly designed tailgate mechanism beginning with the the 2019 Ram 1500. It is estimated that 1.1 million trucks are affected by the recall. Unsurprisingly, more than 75% of the affected units are in the US, followed by Canada with 260,315 vehicles and Mexico with nearly 19,500 units.
