Service bulletins for the 2016 Ram 2500

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

RL305553A2022-08-22. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN. 9-spd Transmission: FOR NAFTA Market Only: If you are ordering this transmission please follow all wiTECH pop ups and Warranty Payment Guidelines. If this vehicle contains 1 of the 30 Diagnostic Codes in the 9 Speed Tutorial located on the Service Home Page then please follow the repair steps and submit a Topology report as well as a Vehicle Scan Report with the Warranty Claim.~
5RR541XRA2022-08-22. Service bulletin. POWER TRAIN; VISIBILITY; PARKING BRAKE. Power Fold Rearview Mirror Prior to replacing this part for a loose mirror, please first follow this procedure to reset the pivot mechanism. Move the mirror to its full forward position and then to full retract position using the power fold mirror button located on drivers side door panel. Perform this procedure three times. If this doesn't resolve the issue, then repair as necessary.~ Note: 1- The looseness of power fold mirror does not necessary indicate a defective mirror, it may be caused by folding it manually rather than using the power fold feature. If the mirror is adjusted manually out of the proper detent, always use the button to adjust it back into sync.~ 2- The intended use of the power fold mirrors is by pushing the button to fold and unfold the mirror. Only manually fold the mirrors when absolutely necessary.~ 3- In the circumstance where the left hand mirror and right hand mirror are in different positions, it may take up to three cycles (bottom pushes) to re-sync the mirrors together.
