Stellantis has announced a major recall affecting more than 450,000 Ram and Jeep vehicles due to a defect in the trailer tow modules. The issue can cause trailer lights or trailer brakes to stop working, creating a serious safety risk for drivers who tow heavy loads.

According to federal safety filings on the recall, the trailer tow defect in Ram and Jeep vehicles stems from a design flaw in the tow control module, meaning every recalled vehicle requires a repair, not just a subset. The recall primarily impacts Ram pickup trucks, particularly Ram 1500 models, but also includes select Ram heavy-duty trucks and a small number of Jeep vehicles, including the Wagoneer S and Cherokee.
