What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 2 model years this bulletin names have filed 19 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 6 of them name Electrical System, Service Brakes — 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.
whenever I was driving on the highway at 80MPH it felt like someone stepped on the brake pedal abruptly for a split second and the car with squiggly lines behind it appeared on the instrument panel, then disappeared. Goin this fast and having that happen is a major safety issue.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Ram S2523000051 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 S2523000051 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 S2523000051 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 2 model years: 2025 Ram ProMaster, 2024 Ram ProMaster. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
