Safety Recall VE1 – Tire Pressure Monitor System – 2019 Ram 1500

December 12, 2019 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V887000

Incorrect TPMS Installed/FMVSS 138

Without a warning indicator, the driver will be unaware if low tire pressure occurs, increasing the risk of a crash.

 

NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V887

Manufacturer Chrysler (FCA US LLC)

Components TIRES

Potential Number of Units Affected 34

 

Summary

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2019 Ram 1500 trucks. An incorrect Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor could have been installed during production causing the sensor to not display the low tire pressure warning indicator. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 138, “Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems.”

 

Remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the TPMS sensor, free of charge. The recall began January 9, 2020. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler’s number for this recall is VE1.

 

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Dealer Service Instructions for:

Safety Recall VE1 / NHTSA 19V- 887 Tire Pressure Monitor System

 

Remedy Available

2019(DS)Ram 1500 Pickup

 

NOTE: Some vehicles above may have been identified as not involved in this recall and therefore have been excluded from this recall.

IMPORTANT:  Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery.  Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for service.  Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.

 

Subject

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor on about 34 of the vehicles above may be incorrect for the vehicle application which will cause the TPMS to display a malfunction indicator within a 20-minute drive, making the TPMS unable to display the indicator for low tire pressure.  A driver may be unable to identify if low tire pressure occurs if the malfunction indicator lamp is activated. Low tire pressure can result in potentially degraded handling performance, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.

The condition above fails to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. FMVSS 49 CFR 571.138, Tire pressure monitoring systems, S4 Requirements. S4.1 General. requires the suspect vehicles to “[…] be equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system that meets the requirements

specified in S4 under the test conditions specified in S5 and the test procedures specified in S6 of this standard.” S6 testing requires that the low tire pressure indicator illuminate in specific test conditions. Vehicles built with incorrect TPMS sensors will not illuminate the low tire pressure indicator under the test conditions of 49 CFR 571.138, S6.

 

Repair

Remove all four tires and wheels, replace all four of the TPMS sensors, balance the tire and wheel assemblies and set tire pressure according to tire pressure label located on the driver’s door opening near the striker.
