What it saysRadio Over The Air R141.01.12 to R145.00.15 Software Version Updates Customers may experience one or more of the following: ? NHTSA’s full summary ↓

Ram filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Jun 28, 2023, received Aug 21, 2023, about the equipment. It names 1 model year (2022). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

Email me new Ram bulletins for the 1500

What owners reported

Source: NHTSA complaint database

Owners of the 1 model year this bulletin names have filed 639 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 202 of them name Electrical System — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.

On the 2022 Ram 1500, the 18 owners who gave an odometer reading for Electrical System reported it at a median of 41,000 miles. That figure is one model year’s, not the whole range this bulletin covers — medians from different model years are not averaged.

Radio will randomly switch sources and volume and speakers. This is very distracting and could cause an accident

A complaint is one owner’s account, not a defect finding, and a bulletin is not a recall. Nothing here says this bulletin was issued because of these complaints, or that the repair it describes fixed them. Complaint files on this site begin in 2015.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5

Is Ram 0815423 a recall?

No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.

Is the 0815423 repair free?

Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way. Every Stellantis warranty extension on file lists the ones Stellantis has filed.

Which vehicles does 0815423 cover?

The manufacturer filed it against 1 model year: 2022 Ram 1500. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
