EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

Manufacturer
Chrysler Group LLC
What Happened
Your vehicle's premium headlamps may have a problem with their shutters not working correctly when you're using high beams. This is a safety issue because it can affect your visibility and potentially blind other drivers.
Risk if Unfixed
If the headlight shutters don't work right, it can reduce your visibility at night and might even blind other drivers. This increases the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Don't worry, this fix is on us! Your dealership will update the Central Body Controller for free, and they'll contact you to schedule the appointment.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL

Manufacturer
Chrysler Group LLC
What Happened
Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2013 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks manufactured September 9, 2012, through March 5, 2013 and equipped with optional premium tail lamps. In the affected vehicles, the turn signal indicator may not flash at a double rate to give a notification to the driver of a turn signal malfunction. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Risk if Unfixed
Without a warning that the turn signal is malfunctioning, the driver would continue to use the vehicle, unaware that other drivers on the road are not being notified that the vehicle is turning, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the Central Body Controller software, free of charge. The recall began June 27, 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N35.
