Approximately 30 model-year 2019 Ram 1500 pickup trucks are being recalled due to spare tire issues. The spare tire provided may differ in size and required inflation pressure from the information on the tire placard label. This could lead to incorrectly inflating the spare tire, increasing the risk of a crash.

Ram manufacturer Fiat Chrysler Automobiles began notifying owners on June 27. Owners can call the automaker at 800-853-1403 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 to learn more.

To fix the problem, dealers will replace the incorrect size spare tire with the correct one.

Vehicle manufacturers are legally required to repair any recalled issues or replace the defective part for free under the Highway Safety Act of 1970. If the dealership refuses to fix the problem or attempts to charge you for the repair, contact the manufacturer immediately.
