NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:BODY CONTROL MODULE/BCM filed April 15, 2025

NHTSA complaint #2083167 (ODI reference 11654804) concerns a 2019 RAM 2500 and was filed on April 15, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 1, 2025. The vehicle had 87,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to New York based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system:body control module/bcm, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same RAM 2500 cohort independently describe similar electrical system:body control module/bcm failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2019 RAM 2500 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

The contact called on behalf of the owner of a 2019 Ram 2500. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH in rainy weather, the windshield wipers became inoperable, causing the contact to slow down significantly to exit the expressway. The contact was able to drive to the residence. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the totally integrated power module (TIPM) had failed, causing the body control module (BCM) to fail. The dealer replaced the TIPM and BCM. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 87,000.
