Tire pressure warning recalls for Ram 1500 and Jeep
Two recent recalls say the low tire pressure light may not come on when it should. Here's who's affected and what to do until it's fixed.
Your tire pressure monitoring system, or TPMS, is the little horseshoe-shaped light on your dash. It's supposed to warn you when a tire is significantly low. Two recent recalls say that warning may not work on some newer trucks and SUVs.
NHTSA 26V623000 Reported
Certain 2026 Ram 1500
- The problem
- The tire pressure sensors may fail to detect low pressure or fail to turn on the warning light.
- The risk
- If the light doesn't warn you about low pressure, the risk of a crash goes up.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect and replace the tire pressure sensors as needed, free of charge. Owner letters are expected to be mailed October 27, 2026. FCA's recall number is 51D.
NHTSA 26V559000 Reported
Certain 2024 to 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee L, plus several Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer and 2026 Cherokee models
- The problem
- A software error may keep the system from detecting low pressure or turning on the warning light.
- The risk
- If the light doesn't warn you about low pressure, the risk of a crash goes up.
- The fix
- Dealers will update the radio frequency hub software, free of charge. FCA's recall number is 54D.
Until it's fixed, check pressure by hand
A tire gauge costs a few dollars and takes two minutes to use:
- Check when the tires are cold, before you've driven far.
- Find the right pressure on the sticker in the driver's door jamb, not the number molded into the tire.
- Check all four tires, and the spare if you have one.
- Do it once a month, and more often as the weather turns cold.
As it gets colder, tire pressure drops. Fall is exactly when a working warning light matters most.
