What's wrong, in plain English

Some Ram 1500 trucks may have a spare tire that is a different size than what is listed on the tire information label inside the vehicle. The label also lists the wrong inflation pressure for the spare that was actually included. Because of this mismatch, a driver following the label's instructions could put the wrong amount of air into the spare tire, which increases the risk of a crash if that tire is used.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a Chrysler dealer, or call Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403, to get the correct-size spare tire.
3. The replacement spare tire 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 19V448000.
