What's wrong, in plain English

Chrysler is recalling certain Ram 2500, 3500, 4500 and 5500 trucks and cab chassis models. The windshield wiper arms may loosen over time, which can cause the wipers to stop working properly. This can make it harder for the driver to see out of the windshield in certain weather conditions, since the wipers may not clear the glass the way they should.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact a dealer (1-800-853-1403) to have the wiper nuts tightened.
3. The repair is free of charge.

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 22V035000.
