Stellantis Issues Do-Not-Drive Order for 2003 Dodge Ram 1500

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced on Tuesday that Stellantis issued a do-not-drive order for roughly 84,000 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup trucks that have yet to receive repairs to address deadly Takata airbags.

The order comes off the heels of a death caused by a passenger-side inflator in a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500, the first to occur in this model, and the 26th death directly linked to a faulty Takata airbag.

The truck was one of 385,686 Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models first recalled in 2015 over the massive Takata scandal.
