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
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the ORC software, free of charge. The recall began June 26, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is T25.
The air bag system in your truck has a wiring harness that connects the steering wheel to the air bag. In some 2012-2014 Ram trucks, this harness can rub against a spring, causing an electrical issue.
Risk if Unfixed
If the wiring harness touches the spring, it could create a spark that makes the air bag deploy unexpectedly. This could lead to injury and potentially cause a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect the wiring harness, fix any damage, and add protective caps to the spring ends – all at no cost to you. You should contact your dealer to confirm repair availability and schedule the fix.
