What this recall means for you
Some 2019 Ram 1500 trucks may have been built with an incorrect tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor. The sensor may fail to show the low tire pressure warning light, so the driver may not know when a tire is losing air. The vehicles also do not meet federal tire pressure monitoring requirements (FMVSS 138).
Without a warning, a driver may keep driving on an under-inflated tire, which increases the risk of a crash.
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the TPMS sensor free of charge. The recall began January 9, 2020. You can contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 (recall number VE1), and you should check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls.
