What P0572 means
Source: SAE J2012 / OBD-IIP0572 sits in the generic range of the OBD-II standard, so it means the same thing on every vehicle sold in the United States — but WhichTrim does not carry a definition for it and will not invent one. What is on this page is the record: who named it and on what.
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.

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 14 manufacturer filings and 1 owner report naming P0572 on 9 Ram model years (2016–2022). 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.

2017 1500 (2 documents), 2016 1500 (2 documents), 2017 2500 (2 documents).
Does P0572 on a Ram mean it is recalled?
