What's wrong, in plain English

Some Ram ProMaster Chassis Cab and incomplete vehicles were built with an analog rearview camera, which is the wrong type for this vehicle and cannot be properly installed. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet federal safety rules that require a working rearview camera. Without the correct camera, the driver may not get a proper rearview image when backing up, which can reduce how well they can see behind the vehicle.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact your Ram dealer or FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403 to schedule the free repair.
3. Dealers will install a digital rearview camera at no cost.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
