What Happened
A safety sensor in your Ram truck's seat belts can be too sensitive, causing the airbags and seat belt pretensioners to deploy unexpectedly.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, your airbags could go off without warning, which could increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Free Fix
Your Ram dealer will update the sensor calibration for free, so you should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
