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.

What P0335 means
Source: SAE J2012 / OBD-IIA fault in the crankshaft position sensor circuit — the computer has lost track of where the crank is.
A stored code names the test that failed, never the part that caused it. The record above is what Ram and its owners have filed about it; the code’s page across every make has the whole file.
Common questions
Source: NHTSA files and the OBD-II standardIs P0335 a known problem on Ram vehicles?
It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 47 manufacturer filings and 1 owner report naming P0335 on 17 Ram model years (2016–2021). 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 P0335 appear on most?
2019 1500 (8 documents), 2016 ProMaster (8 documents), 2016 1500 (5 documents).
Does P0335 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.
