Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 43B is the number Ram assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 24V290000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573

Is 43B the same recall as 24V290000?

Yes. 43B is Ram’s own number for it; 24V290000 is NHTSA’s. One recall, two references.

Which vehicles does 43B cover?

2021 Ram ProMaster, 2 vehicles by the manufacturer’s count. A recall covers a build range, so the VIN decides whether one particular vehicle is in it.

Does the 43B repair cost anything?

No. The manufacturer must remedy a safety defect at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from first sale.
