Plain-English summary

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2019 Ram 1500 trucks. The recall addresses a defect where an incorrect Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor may have been installed during production. This error can cause the sensor to fail to display the low tire pressure warning indicator, meaning the vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 138.

Without the warning indicator, drivers may be unaware if low tire pressure occurs, which increases the risk of a crash. The recall began on January 9, 2020.

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the TPMS sensor free of charge. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is VE1. Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov.
