Ram Australia has recalled 2540 examples of the 1500 dual-cab pick-up over a manufacturing defect that could cause a visibility problem.
Affecting MY19-MY20 1500s sold from January 1, 2019, to May 15, 2020, the recall involves the windshield wiper arm head joint, which can strip.
If this occurs, the windshield wiper arm will not function properly, which could lead to reduced visibility.
In such a scenario, the risk of an accident and therefore injury to vehicle occupants and other road users is increased.
Impacted owners will be contacted by Ram Australia via mail with instructions to book their vehicle in at a preferred dealership to have the necessary repair performed free of charge.
Those looking for further information can call Ram Australia on 1300 681 792 or reach out to their preferred dealership.
A full list of affected Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) can be found at the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s ACCC Product Safety Australia website.

Head of Editorial
Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum.
That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time.
And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all.
In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
