What's wrong, in plain English
On some RAM 1500 trucks, the sensor that tracks the passenger seat's position can come loose and shift out of place. When that happens, the system can no longer tell whether the seat is all the way forward, which affects how the front airbag adjusts when it deploys. Dealers will check the sensor bracket on the passenger seat track and replace it if needed.
