Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Carli Suspension is recalling adjustable track bars, part numbers CS-DPRB03 and CS-DPRB14, sold for use on 2013 and newer Ram 3500 4X4, 2014 and newer Ram 2500 4X4, 2003-2013 Ram 2500 Diesel and Hemi, and 2003-2012 Ram 3500 diesel trucks. The recall involves 2,355 units.
