Chrysler will notify and mail affected owners a USB drive that includes a software update that eliminates the vulnerability, free of charge. Optionally, owners may download the update to their own USB drive from http://www.driveuconnect.com/software-update/ or take their vehicle to a Chrysler dealer for immediate installation. In an effort to mitigate the effects of this security vulnerability, Chrysler has had the wireless service provider close the open cellular connection to the vehicle that provided unauthorized access to the vehicle network. This measure may not have been implemented on all vehicles and does not address access by other means that will be remedied by the software update. The recall began on August 25, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is R40.
The fire extinguisher in your vehicle is a safety device that helps put out small fires. Some models in your Dodge, Chrysler, or RAM might have a faulty fire extinguisher that can get clogged or even break apart, making it harder to use in an emergency.
Risk if Unfixed
If the fire extinguisher doesn't work as expected, you could get hurt in the event of a fire, or the fire could spread and cause more damage.
Free Fix
Chrysler will tell you how to get a free replacement fire extinguisher from Kidde. You should contact Kidde at 1-855-262-3540 or visit their website to get the replacement and follow their instructions.

Your Mopar canvas seat covers are designed to protect your seats, but they could actually put you at risk. The covers can get in the way of the airbags in your RAM 1500, 2500, or 3500 truck.
Risk if Unfixed
If the airbags can't deploy properly because of the seat covers, the thorax airbags might not work as they should in a crash. This could leave you with a more serious injury than you'd have had if the airbags worked normally.
Free Fix
You'll need to remove the front seat covers and return them to your dealer for a full refund. This is a free service, and you should schedule it as soon as possible.
