What's wrong, in plain English

Chrysler is recalling certain Ram ProMaster vans. The warning light and chime that remind the driver to buckle up may not turn on the way they are supposed to. Because of this, these vans do not meet the federal safety rule covering occupant crash protection. Dealers will look at the driver's seat belt buckle and replace it if needed.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your van is included. 2. Contact a Chrysler or Ram dealer to schedule the inspection, or call FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403 (recall number 02B). 3. The inspection and any buckle replacement are 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 24V129000.
