What's wrong, in plain English

On some 2019 Ram 1500 trucks, the wrong tire pressure sensor may have been installed during manufacturing. Because of this, the dashboard warning light may not turn on when a tire's air pressure gets low, so the driver would have no way of knowing there is a problem with the tire. Chrysler dealers will replace the sensor to fix the problem, free of charge.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your truck is included. 2. Contact your Chrysler dealer, or Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403, to schedule the repair. 3. The sensor replacement 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 19V887000.
