The Israeli register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Issue:
On certain vehicles, a problem with the steering control module could cause a turn signal not to turn off or to flash briefly in the opposite direction after making a turn or changing lanes. This problem could also cause the high beams to turn on when a turn signal is activated, or a turn signal to turn on when the high beams are turned on.Safety Risk:
Turn signals that stay on or flash in the opposite direction after making a turn or changing lanes could create confusion for others. High beams that turn on when a turn signal is activated could cause reduced visibility and/or glare for oncoming drivers. These issues could increase the risk of a crash.Corrective Actions:
FCA Canada will notify owners by mail and advise you to bring your vehicle to a dealer to update the steering control module software. The dealer will also inspect and, if necessary, replace the module.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2023636.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Ram 1500, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Ram: 187 in the register, and 593 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2023.
