Chrysler is recalling more than 33,000 model year 2025 Ram 1500 pickup trucks over concerns they may have been built with damaged front wheel bearing encoder rings. 

The automaker said a damaged front wheel bearing encoder ring could cause a loss of wheel speed signal, potentially disabling the vehicles’ Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which could lead to an accident. 

“Failure of the ESC system when intervention is expected and/or relied upon can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning,” the Ram 1500 recall says.

The recall involves certain model year 2025 Ram 1500 pickup trucks produced between Oct. 13, 2023, and Aug. 11, 2024.
