What This Recall Means

Component

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY:AXLE SHAFT

What Happened
The rear axle shaft in your Ram 1500 is a crucial part that connects your wheels to your transmission. In some 2015-2016 models, it might not have been properly heat-treated.
Risk if Unfixed
If the axle shaft fails, it could snap and cause a wheel to separate, which could lead to a crash and potentially harm you or others on the road.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealer will check the axle assembly and replace it if necessary, all at no cost to you. They'll take care of the repair as soon as you get the recall notice.
