  • 2015 to 2020 – Ram 3500 (D2)
  • 2015 to 2020 – Ram 3500 (DD)

Since many people confuse the newer 2019 to Present Ram Heavy Duty models with the fifth-generation Ram 1500 (DT), the 2019 and newer Heavy Duty models are a mid-cycle-action (MCA) or refresh of the fourth-generation Ram. This means the true fifth-generation Ram 1500 (DT) pickups are unaffected by the recall.
