What's wrong, in plain English
The side curtain airbags on the left and right sides of these trucks have inflators that were manufactured with a defect. Because of this defect, the inflator can rupture when the airbag deploys. If that happens, small sharp pieces of metal can fly out with enough force to strike people inside the vehicle, which can cause injury to the driver or passengers nearby.
What you should do
2. Contact a Ram dealer to schedule the repair (FCA customer service: 1-800-853-1403).
