Ram has had to recall a certain number of Ram 1500 pickups from the 2021 to 2023 model years over a backup camera issue. A population of 68,809 pickups built between June 3, 2020, and August 17, 2022, are believed to have a trailer reverse steering control module (TRSCM) that can "fail internally." If this happens, the image from the backup camera won't be displayed on the cabin screen — a breach of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 111, "Rear Visibility," hence the recall. Owners could be additionally alerted to a problem by an illuminated Electronic Throttle Control warning indicator in the instrument panel cluster.

The fix is a trip to the dealer to have the TRSCM reset and reprogrammed with new software.
