Ram Tire Recalls Cover Spare Sizes and Missing Pressure Warnings
The Ram tire recalls concentrate on the 1500, with two notices covering certain 2019 trucks and another covering certain 2021 trucks. Spare tire mismatches repeat: V67 describes a spare whose size and required inflation pressure differ from the tire placard, while Y62 describes an incorrect-size spare that does not match the placard's tire size and pressure information. Both raise concerns about incorrect inflation when an owner relies on that label. The other 2019 recall, VE1, concerns an incorrect TPMS sensor that may fail to display the low tire pressure warning indicator. Its risk centers on missing notification rather than spare tire labeling.
Warning signs to watch for
- VE1: The low tire pressure warning indicator may not display when low tire pressure occurs.
Can you keep driving? What the notices say
The V67 notice for the 2019 Ram 1500 spare tire size mismatch does not tell owners to stop driving. The VE1 notice for the 2019 Ram 1500 tire pressure warning problem also does not tell owners to stop driving. The Y62 notice for the 2021 Ram 1500 incorrect-size spare tire likewise does not tell owners to stop driving. None of these notices includes a stop-driving instruction or a direction to park outside.
What the free repair involves
For V67, dealers replace the incorrect-size spare tire with the correct-size spare, free of charge. For VE1, dealers replace the TPMS sensor, free of charge. For Y62, dealers replace the spare tire assembly, also free of charge. The stated replacement depends on which recall applies to the truck.

Common questions
Which Ram 1500 model years appear in these tire recalls?
The supplied notices cover certain 2019 Ram 1500 trucks under V67 and VE1, and certain 2021 Ram 1500 vehicles under Y62. V67 and Y62 concern spare tire mismatches; VE1 concerns the tire pressure monitoring sensor.
What is wrong with the spare tire placard information?
V67 describes a supplied spare with size and inflation requirements different from the placard information. Y62 describes an incorrect-size spare that does not match the placard. Both notices say relying on the placard may lead to incorrect spare tire inflation.
Will the tire pressure warning always identify the VE1 problem?
The VE1 notice says an incorrect TPMS sensor may fail to display the low tire pressure warning indicator. It specifically identifies the possibility that a driver will be unaware of low pressure. Dealers replace the sensor free of charge.
