Plain-English summary

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2018 RAM ProMaster City vehicles. The recall addresses tire placards that may indicate an incorrect total number of occupants allowed. This defect causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
