DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS


Posted on: 2017-09-28
Description
Chrysler (fca us llc) is recalling certain 2015-2017 ram promaster city vehicles.  These vehicles have incorrect information on the tire placard including incorrect vehicle capacity weight, total number of occupants, tire pressure and/or none designation for the spare tire size when a full size spare tire is present.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 110, tire selection and rims.

Consequence
The incorrect tire placard can cause the operator to exceed the vehicle's weight capacity, or inflate the tires to an incorrect pressure, affecting vehicle handling, which can increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect tire placard with a corrected one, free of charge.  The recall began november 17, 2017.  Owners may contact chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403.  Chrysler's number for this recall is t62.
