The record does show a minimal recall and complaint burden: two recall campaigns addressing safety components, alongside a single owner complaint.
The 2024 Ram 4500 was not crash-tested by NHTSA, carries two recall campaigns on the federal record, and falls in the Light recall and complaint burden band according to NHTSA data.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Ram 4500?
The 2024 Ram 4500 currently has two recalls on file that address critical safety components: a clockspring failure can prevent the driver air bag from deploying, and a steering control module defect affects directional control. Both recall issues bear directly on crash safety and vehicle control. While the vehicle is categorized within the Light recall and complaint burden band, indicating a low volume of federal activity, the nature of these recalls is significant. One complaint has been filed, alleging both a crash and an injury. No crash-test data for sibling years are available for comparison. The categorization within the Light band reflects the volume of reported federal activity for this model year, not an assessment of crashworthiness.
