An incident naming several systems is counted under each. “Fire” and “Other” are categories in the rule, not systems.

Every one of these, dated and numbered

The defect dossier for the Ram 2500 puts each report beside the recalls, investigations, bulletins and owner complaints on the same system, as a PDF and two CSVs: the Ram 2500, one system, every model year, numbered as exhibits.

Each row above is a claim or notice Ram received alleging a death or injury in a Ram 2500 and reported to NHTSA as 49 CFR 579.21 requires; NHTSA does not verify it, and a 2500 that sold more will have more rows. All Ram models · What these reports are, and are not.
