Subject

FCA US has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in some Mopar bed step kits (part number 82215842AC / 82215842AD) sold in calendar years 2019 and 2020 may fail in certain angular or side-load loading conditions. If a sufficient side-load is applied to the bed step, its mounting bracket may fracture and cause the bed step to suddenly and unexpectedly fail while in use, which can increase the risk of an injury to the user.
