Service bulletins for the 2026 Ram 5500
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.
182 on file from NHTSA, as of 2026-10-19.

| 18-012-26 REV.A | 2026-02-12. Service bulletin. ENGINE; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. Flash: Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Updates Customers must experience a Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illumination and the vehicle must SYMPTOM: exhibit/set one or more of the following Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs): ● P0072-00 - Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit "A" Low. ● P0087-00 - Fuel Rail Pressure Too Low. ● P2540-00 - Low Pressure Fuel System Sensor Circuit Range/Performance. ● P2543-00 - Low Pressure Fuel System Sensor Circuit Intermittent. ● P20EE-00 - SCR Nox Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold - Bank 1 Catalyst 1. ● P203F-00 - Reductant Level Too Low. ● P2698-00 - Exhaust Aftertreatment Fuel Injector "A" Performance. ● P06B9-00 - Cylinder 1 Glow Plug Circuit Performance. ● P06BA-00 - Cylinder 2 Glow Plug Circuit Performance. ● P06BB-00 - Cylinder 3 Glow Plug Circuit Performance. ● P06BC-00 - Cylinder 4 Glow Plug Circuit Performance. ● P06BD-00 - Cylinder 5 Glow Plug Circuit Performance. ● P06BE-00 - Cylinder 6 Glow Plug Circuit Performance. Customers may also comment on one or more of the following: ● Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) level gauge inaccuracy. ● Poor cold start performance. ● Unable to initiate manual Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regen through Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC). ● While using the remote Power Take-Off (PTO) feature, the PTO may not engage or resume operation properly, after disengaging: 1. Engine is running with PTO engaged. 2. Operator is using the equipment, for example a bucket attachment. 3. Operator gets in position, then uses remote start/stop button to turn truck off while they perform a task. 4. The task is completed, then operator is ready to move the bucket so they use remote start/stop to start the engine. 5. The engine starts but PTO does not automatically re-engage so the equipment doesn’t operate. This bulletin involves inspecting and possibly reprogramming the PCM with the latest available software. |
