What's wrong?
The front wheel hub on the 2025 Ram 1500 holds the wheel bearing and helps the wheel turn smoothly. Inside that hub area, an encoder ring works with the wheel speed sensor, which tells the truck how fast each front wheel is turning. The electronic stability control system uses that signal to help correct a skid or loss of traction.
On affected trucks, the encoder ring was damaged before the hub assembly was installed. The problem is not ordinary wear of the bearing. Damage to the ring interrupts the wheel speed signal, so the truck no longer has the front wheel speed information it needs for electronic stability control. When that signal is lost, the stability control system can be disabled.
There is no warning sign before failure. That means the truck can seem normal until the wheel speed signal is lost and the stability control system stops working as designed.

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?
Electronic stability control helps correct a skid or loss of traction. If it is disabled, the truck has less help staying controlled in a sudden maneuver and the risk of a crash increases. Schedule the inspection soon and drive cautiously until it is completed. Repair is free at any franchised Ram dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025 Ram 1500 is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Ram dealer to schedule the free inspection and front wheel bearing hub assembly replacement, if needed, to fix damaged encoder rings that disable electronic stability control.
- Bring the recall notice if Ram mailed one. If not, reference recall number 24V794 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete; affected trucks can lose electronic stability control support.
