RAM Promaster City Recall 17V601: Incorrect tire label may lead to overloading or wrong tire pressure

NHTSA campaign 17V601, reported September 26, 2017, 11,288 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The tire placard on certain 2015-2017 RAM ProMaster City vans lists wrong information, such as the vehicle's weight capacity, number of occupants, tire pressure, or a "None" entry for the spare tire size when a full-size spare is installed. Following the placard could lead to loading the vehicle beyond its weight capacity or inflating the tires to an incorrect pressure, which can affect handling and raise the risk of a crash.

Dealers will replace the incorrect tire placard with a corrected one at no cost to the owner. Owners can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall number T62. You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls.

Until the placard is corrected, consider relying on the tire pressure specifications in your owner's manual rather than the placard, and avoid loading the vehicle beyond the capacity stated in the owner's manual.

Check whether this recall is open on your vehicle

The repair is normally free at an authorized dealer.
