Component
WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS
Manufacturer
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
What Happened
The lug nuts on your RAM truck are secured by wheel studs. If the owner's manual and service information say to tighten them too much, the studs could break, and the wheel could come loose.
Risk if Unfixed
If the wheel comes loose, it could fly off while you're driving, causing a serious accident and potentially injuring you or others on the road.
Free Fix
Your dealer will update the owner's manual to show the correct tightening specs, and they'll inspect your wheel studs for any damage. If they need to be replaced, they'll do it at no cost to you – just schedule the repair when you get your recall notice.
