Plain-English summary

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2015-2017 RAM ProMaster City vehicles. The recall involves 11,288 vehicles that have incorrect information on the tire placard. This includes incorrect vehicle capacity weight, total number of occupants, tire pressure, and/or a "None" designation for the spare tire size when a full-size spare tire is present. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

The incorrect tire placard can cause the operator to exceed the vehicle's weight capacity or inflate the tires to an incorrect pressure. These errors can affect vehicle handling, which can increase the risk of a crash.

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the incorrect tire placard with a corrected one, free of charge. The recall began November 17, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is T62. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
