Chrysler (FCA) announced a recall for the 2023 Ram 1500 Classic, Ram 3500 Classic, 3500 Chassis Cab, and 2023-2024 Ram 2500, 4500/5500 Chassis Cab and Ram 3500 vehicles due to a malfunctioning steering column module.

The issue causes the high-beam lights to activate along with the turn signal and vice versa. The malfunction may cause confusion or reduced visibility to other road users, increasing the risk of a crash, according to the Chrysler recall.

The recall letter from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration says the turn signal self-canceling feature also may not function properly.
