Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. Y99 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. 21V925000 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.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573

Is Y99 the same recall as 21V925000?

Yes. Y99 is Ram’s own number for it; 21V925000 is NHTSA’s. One recall, two references.

Which vehicles does Y99 cover?

2021–2022 Ram 1500 and 2 other Ram models, 376 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 Y99 repair cost anything?

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