What's wrong, in plain English

On some Ram 3500, 2500, 4500, and 5500 trucks, the instrument panel display may show the wrong warning light for the brake system. Because the light can be incorrect, it may not properly alert the driver to an important safety problem with the truck. Failing to warn the driver about a real issue increases the risk of a crash.

2. Contact a dealer, or call Chrysler customer service at 800-853-1403.
