Electrical Issue - New to me RAM 2020

Hello, I decided to join the RAM family and bought a used 2020 Big Horn V8 from a "reputable" dealer in my area. The Carfax was squeaky clean and the vehicle was a 1 owner lease with oil changes done every 6,000 miles. I had a mechanic check my vehicle out and he found the attached electrical codes. The odd part is everything is functioning correctly in the vehicle including the fog lamps and parking sensors which both threw codes. I am having the dealer pick up Monday to replace what seems to be a slightly leaky third break light and am surely going to mention this. I'm wondering if anyone has ever dealt with something similar when everything in the vehicle is functioning as expected? I have 3 very small children and would hate for some freak accident event to happen down the road with the electrical system while I'm driving.

Codes:
B16FB-15
B16F7-15
B128E-11
B1291-11
B1290-11

I have a 2020 and have had a couple of strange issues electronically. The solution was a simple reflash. Problems solved for the last 20000 miles.

Thank you. Hopefully that is my experience as well but I have a feeling I have some wiring issues. My only apprehension on that theory is that everything seems to he functioning normal with the exception of the backup camera which has not worked on two occasions. It seemed though that was only when I started the car and put it in reverse before the screen had time to correctly start up. Just confused about the whole situation.

Check out the threads for water leaks. If it's an E-torque, there is a battery and electronics behind the back seat that could have gotten wet.

It could also be that the dealer replaced the battery and it can take a little while for the codes to go away .
