A model year is listed because the code is named in its own record — a bulletin filed against it, or an owner’s complaint about it — not because every one of these vehicles sets it. Counts are documents in NHTSA’s files, not failure rates.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA files and the OBD-II standardIs P0300 a known problem on Ram vehicles?
It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 37 manufacturer filings and 10 owner reports naming P0300 on 16 Ram model years (2016–2025). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.
Which Ram models does P0300 appear on most?
2025 1500 (14 documents), 2020 1500 (4 documents), 2022 1500 (3 documents).
Does P0300 on a Ram mean it is recalled?
No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
