Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. 53B 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. 24V416000 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 53B the same recall as 24V416000?

Yes. 53B is Ram’s own number for it; 24V416000 is NHTSA’s. One recall, two references.

Which vehicles does 53B cover?

2021–2024 Ram ProMaster, 266 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 53B repair cost anything?

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