IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL R36 / NHTSA 15V-459
This notice applies to your vehicle (VIN: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
Dear: (Name)
FCA has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2012 through 2014 model year Dodge RAM Pickup trucks.
The problem is...
The steering wheel wire harness on your vehicle may become chaffed by the driver airbag module retainer spring ends. A chaffed steering wheel wire harness could cause an electrical short and/or an inadvertent driver airbag deployment. Inadvertent driver airbag deployment, during certain driving conditions, may increase the risk of a crash and/or vehicle occupant injury.
What your dealer will do...
FCA will repair your vehicle free of charge. To do this, your dealer will inspect the steering wheel wire harness, and repair if needed. The steering wheel wire harness will be rerouted and secured to prevent wire chaffing and protective caps will be installed onto the airbag retainer spring ends. The work will take about ½ hour to complete. However, additional time may be necessary depending on service schedules.
What you must do to ensure your safety...
Simply contact your Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge or RAM dealer right away to schedule a service appointment. Please bring this letter with you to your dealer.
