Ram bulletin 93335

What it saysWarranty Bulletin D-22-16 - (X97) Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Select 2021 - 2022 Ram 2500 Pickup (DJ), 2021 - 2022 Ram 3500 Cab Chassis (DD), 2021 - 2022 Ram 3500 Pickup (D2) and 2021 - 2022 Ram 4500/5500 Cab… NHTSA’s full summary ↓

Ram filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Sep 7, 2023, received Oct 30, 2023, about the fuel/propulsion system — 2 documents under this number. It names 8 model years (2021–2022). 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.

What owners reported

Source: NHTSA complaint database

Owners of the 4 model years this bulletin names have filed 543 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 37 of them name Fuel/Propulsion 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.

DEF sensor malfunctions, threatening to limit vehicle to 5 mph or stop completely. This is because DEF fluid freezes in cold weather. Sensor reads that DEF tank is empty, even when it is full. Contacted local dealer who confirmed the issue and noted that it is a prevalent problem and he has a backlog of trucks with the same issue.

2021 Ram 2500 · Fuel/Propulsion System · filed with NHTSA Jan 18, 2023 · ODI 11502369

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 93335 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 93335 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 93335 cover?

The manufacturer filed it against 8 model years: 2022 Ram 2500, 2021 Ram 2500, 2022 Ram 3500, 2021 Ram 3500, 2021 Ram 4500, 2022 Ram 4500 and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
