Warning Signs
According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there are no warning signs that consistently precede the failure. However, some owners may notice degraded lighting performance or receive a warning message in the instrument cluster indicating a lighting system malfunction.
Suspect Period
The suspect period began on October 29, 2025, when production of vehicles equipped with the affected premium headlamp assemblies started, and ended on February 16, 2026, when production of those assemblies concluded. Stellantis used supplier records and vehicle production data to identify the affected vehicle population.
Vehicles built outside of this production window or not equipped with the premium headlamp assemblies are not included in the recall.

Recall ChronologyÂ
On April 16, 2026, the FCA US LLC (“FCA US”) Technical Safety and Regulatory Compliance (“TSRC”) organization opened an investigation into some 2026 MY Ram 1500 vehicles with premium headlamp assemblies (LM6) that may experience intermittent Parking Lamps and DRLs.
From April 2026 through May 2026, FCA US TSRC met with FCA US Engineering to understand root cause, customer consequence and vehicle scope.
From April 2026 through May 2026, FCA US TSRC conducted an analysis of field records and customer assistance records to understand potential customer consequences.
On June 10, 2026, FCA US TSRC organization recognized that a vehicle build issue existed on certain vehicles related to premium headlamp assemblies, potentially resulting in a noncompliance with FMVSS No. 108.
On June 25, 2026, FCA US determined, through the Vehicle Regulations Committee, that a noncompliance to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 exists in certain vehicles.

A second notification letter will be mailed once the final remedy is available. Owners with questions can contact Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403 and reference recall number 62D. Affected Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) became searchable on the NHTSA website beginning July 9, 2026.
