What's wrong, in plain English

In some Ram 1500 trucks, the memory in the computer that controls the air bags and seat belt pretensioners can become corrupted. When this happens, it can disable the vehicle's air bags and seat belt pretensioners so they would not work as intended.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact a dealer to have the air bag control computer reprogrammed or replaced as necessary; call Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403.
3. The repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 19V407000.
