RAM 1500 recall: missed low tire-pressure warnings
Certain RAM 1500 trucks may not provide the intended low tire-pressure warning; dealers will inspect the sensors and replace them when needed at no charge.
RAM 1500 owners should be aware that the tire-pressure monitoring system may not detect low pressure or illuminate its warning light as intended. The current official record identifies a dealer inspection and sensor replacement where necessary.
What the official recall record says
RAM: 1500
The tire-pressure monitoring sensors may fail to recognize a low-pressure condition or trigger the dashboard warning. Without that alert, a driver may not be notified of low tire pressure, increasing crash risk. The remedy calls for dealers to inspect the sensors and replace them as necessary without charge.
