2004 Dodge RAM 1500 & 2004 Dodge RAM 2500 recall: equipment
⚠️ What's wrong
The vehicle certification label on some pickup trucks lists incorrect tire, wheel, and recommended inflation pressure information which does not conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 120, 'tire selection and rims for vehicles other than passenger cars.'
💥 The risk
Installing the incorrect tire/rim sizes and loading the vehicle to the weights shown on the label CAN cause tire failure and result in a crash without warning.
🔧 The fix
Owners will be provided with vehicle certification label overlays containing the corrected information relative to vehicle tire and rim size, and recommended inflation pressure. This recall began on may 5, 2004. Owners should contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
