Wheels on other 1500 years
No other 1500 model year has enough reports of wheels for a sheet of its own. See every 1500 year.
What this problem usually is
This sheet gathers complaints about the parts that meet the road: tires that wear out early or blow out, wheels that crack or bend, lug nuts that come loose, and wheel bearings that start to hum. The median mileage owners give is about 21,000, among the lowest on the site, so many of these are fairly new cars.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the tires (18 reports) and the wheel (8 reports).
Recalls and investigations
No recall on the wheels covers the 2014 model year as of Oct 2, 2026.
When it happens
The middle half of failures fell between 22,000 and 47,000 miles, from the 17 reports that gave a mileage.
Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 2 service bulletins or notices for the 2014 Ram 1500 that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.
Wheel Liner to Steel Bumper Slip Fit Design This bulletin involves informing technicians that the wheel liners tabs are to be tucked behind the flange of the bumper bracket.
Tire pressure monitoring module Prior to replacing tire pressure monitoring module, for DTC's C151D, C1581, please contact Michael Wang at cell (248) 701-5351. If no response or contact is made within 15 minutes, proceed with repairs as necessary.
What owners wrote
“At speeds over 65 mph the truck vibrates violently. We have had it to 3 different repairs places, new tireâs balanced, new front parts and it still vibrates.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 2 of 25 reports involved a crash and 1 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
