What it saysARM Lower Control WHAT: Clunking noise from Front Stabar link to Front Lower Control Arm (FLCA). NHTSA’s full summary ↓
Ram filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Dec 10, 2024, about the suspension. It names 7 model years (2019–2025). 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.

What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationARM Lower Control WHAT: Clunking noise from Front Stabar link to Front Lower Control Arm (FLCA). WHY: The joint is coming loose due to loss of clamp load when there is severe embedment on FLCA mating surface to the stabar link ball stud. We are currently updating the stabar link design and new design will be implemented in March 2025. HOW: If this Front stabar link to FLCA joint torque is under the residual torque of 70Nm, please retorque the joint to this spec of 110 (Min 70-Max 138). Otherwise proceed with regular diagnosis.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Ram 9100460 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 9100460 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 9100460 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 7 model years: 2025 Ram 1500, 2024 Ram 1500, 2023 Ram 1500, 2022 Ram 1500, 2021 Ram 1500, 2020 Ram 1500 and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
