Component

AIR BAGS

Manufacturer
Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
What Happened
Your Ram 1500, 2500, or 3500 vehicle's roll rate sensor might not work properly, especially in rough driving conditions or if debris hits your vehicle. This might cause a problem with the airbag controller, which could disable the side airbags and seatbelt pretensioners.
Risk if Unfixed
If the side airbags and seatbelt pretensioners don't work, you could be at risk of serious injury in a crash, especially if you're a passenger in the backseat.
Free Fix
A free software update will be applied to your airbag controller by a certified dealer, which will ensure your side airbags and seatbelt pretensioners work as they should.

Original — What Happened
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and 2014-2016 Ram 3500 vehicles. Certain driving conditions, such as driving off-road or debris striking the vehicle may cause the roll rate sensor to trigger a fault within the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC). If this fault occurs, the rollover side curtain air bag and the seat belt pretensioner will be disabled from deploying.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
If the rollover side curtain air bags and seat belt pretensioners are disabled, there is an increased risk of injury to the vehicle occupants in the event of a crash that necessitates activation of these safety systems.
Original — Remedy

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

Manufacturer
Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
What Happened
The air bag system in your truck is designed to protect you in a crash. In certain 2012-2014 Ram trucks, the wiring under your steering wheel could be rubbing against a small metal spring near the air bag.
Risk if Unfixed
If the wiring and spring touch, it could cause the air bag to deploy unexpectedly while you're driving. This could lead to injury and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect the wiring and secure it to prevent any damage. They will also add protective caps to the metal spring to prevent future rubbing. These repairs are free, and you should schedule them as soon as possible.
