What's wrong, in plain English
Chrysler is recalling certain Ram trucks. The control module in the steering column can mix up the light controls: using the turn signal may switch on the high beams, and using the high beams may switch on a turn signal. The turn signal may also fail to shut itself off after a turn. Because of this, these trucks do not meet the federal safety standard for lamps and reflective equipment. Dealers will update the module's software and replace the module if needed.
