Recall 24V413 covers 214 2023 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks for transmission-fluid leaks. Repair is free at any franchised Ram dealer.
Ram is recalling 214 2023 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks because an insufficient weld in the transmission control unit can let transmission fluid leak onto electrical components. The leak can lead to loss of drive power or loss of park function, which increases crash risk, and Ram dealers will complete the free repair.

What's wrong?
The transmission control unit on the 2023 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 is the electronic module that helps manage transmission commands. It helps the transmission respond when the truck needs to move, shift, or stay in park. The unit has a cover and baseplate that must stay sealed so transmission fluid stays away from its electronics.
On affected trucks, the weld between that cover and baseplate is insufficient. Transmission fluid can leak through the weak weld and reach electrical components inside the unit. Once fluid reaches those circuits, the transmission control unit can lose control of the transmission. That can lead to a loss of drive power or a loss of park function.
There is no warning sign before failure. The filing says there is no warning before the problem occurs, so an owner should not expect an early symptom before the transmission control unit stops working correctly.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific pickup truck.
What's the safety risk?
Losing drive power can leave the truck unable to respond in traffic, and losing park function can let it move when the driver expects it to stay stopped. There is no warning sign before failure, so confirm whether your VIN is included and schedule the dealer repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Ram dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023 Ram 1500, 2500, or 3500 is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Ram dealer to schedule the free valve body and control unit replacement that fixes the transmission-fluid leak risk.
- Bring the recall notice if Ram has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V413 and Ram recall 63B when you call.
- Use the parking brake every time you park until the repair is complete, and stop driving if the truck loses drive power.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ram technician replaces the transmission valve body and control unit. The replacement parts and labor are covered under the recall, so there is no charge for the repair. FCA US has a reimbursement process for owners who already paid for a related repair before the recall notice. The owner letter asks customers to send the original receipt or other proof of payment to the company so the expense can be confirmed.
