What's wrong?
The instrument panel cluster in the 2025 Ram 1500 is the dashboard display that shows driver information, including tire-pressure messages from the tire pressure monitoring system. When a tire is low, the cluster is supposed to show the correct inflation recommendation, matching the tire placard on the vehicle.
On affected trucks, the cluster software was programmed incorrectly. When the system detects low tire pressure, the dashboard can display "Inflate to: 50" psi instead of the correct recommended pressure for that truck. The problem is in the software that controls the message, not in the tire-pressure sensors themselves. Ram's dealer repair is to reprogram the instrument panel cluster with corrected software.
There is no warning sign before failure. Once a low tire pressure message appears, the driver can see a mismatch between the number shown on the dashboard and the recommended pressure printed on the tire placard.
Who's affected?
The same instrument-panel software is tied to the cluster display and tire-pressure monitoring.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific pickup truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
An incorrect tire pressure message can leave tires underinflated or overinflated, increasing the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before the message problem, but a driver can see a mismatch between the instrument panel pressure and the tire placard after low pressure is detected. 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 a franchised Ram dealer to schedule the free instrument-panel software update that corrects the tire-pressure message.
- Bring the recall notice if Ram mailed one. If not, reference recall number 25V231 (Ram recall 30C) when you call.
- Check tire pressure manually until the software update is complete, since the instrument panel message can be wrong.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ram technician updates the instrument panel software so the tire inflation pressure message displays correctly. The software update, parts, and labor are free under recall 25V231. FCA's general reimbursement plan covers qualifying owner or purchaser costs paid before the manufacturer notification. If you've already paid for a related instrument panel software or tire pressure message repair, bring repair orders and proof of payment to the dealer or contact FCA customer service to start the reimbursement request.

What should I do if my 2025 Ram 1500 is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific truck is included in recall 25V231. If it is, contact a franchised Ram dealer to schedule the instrument panel software update. Reference recall 25V231 or FCA recall 30C when you call. The repair is free.
