NOTE: Dealer are required to drill a half inch hole into the side-wall of the removed tire, and dispose it in accordance to their state rules and regulations.
- Align the NEW spare tire to the underbody and insert the winch cable end into the center of the wheel (Figure 7).

A loose jack, tools, bracket or other objects in the vehicle may move around with force, resulting in serious injury.
- Return the vehicle to the customer.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
Incorrect Spare Tire
Dear [Name],
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
FCA has decided that certain [2021 (DT) Model Year RAM 1500 Pickup] vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 110 – which requires that each vehicle shall show recommended cold tire inflation pressure for front, rear and spare tires, for full size spare tires, tire size designation, and the tires installed at the time of the first purchase for purposes other than resale.
It is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and your passengers.
WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS? The spare tire on your truck [1] may be different than the spare tire designated on the tire placard label. A driver may rely on the incorrect spare tire inflation pressure on the tire placard label and inflate the spare tire to an incorrect pressure resulting in potentially degraded vehicle performance, which can cause vehicle crash without prior warning.
HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE? FCA US will repair your vehicle [2] free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will remove and replace the spare tire with the correct tire. The estimated repair time is about one hour. In addition, your dealer will require your vehicle for proper check-in, preparation, and check-out during your visit, which may require more time. Your time is important to us, so we recommend that you schedule a service appointment to minimize your inconvenience. Please bring this letter with you to your dealership.
TO SCHEDULE YOUR FREE REPAIR,
CALL YOUR CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP OR RAM DEALER TODAY
WHAT IF I ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED?
If you have already experienced this specific condition and have paid to have it repaired, you may visit www.fcarecallreimbursement.com to submit your reimbursement request online. [3] Once we receive and verify the required documents, reimbursement will be sent to you within 60 days. If you have had previous repairs performed and/or already received reimbursement, you may still need to have the recall repair performed.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but are sincerely concerned about your safety. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
