Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) — TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS

Is my product affected?

2014 RAM PROMASTER

  • Brand RAM

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Chrysler is recalling certain 2014 Ram ProMaster vehicles manufactured between April 23, 2013, and August 22, 2014, because the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) may fail to learn the locations of the tire pressure sensors while driving. When this occurs, the low tire pressure warning light will turn on even when tire pressures are normal. More critically, if a tire actually loses air pressure, the driver will not receive a warning, which could lead to tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.

Owners of affected vehicles should contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 to arrange service. Dealers will update the TPMS module with new software at no charge. The recall began on December 8, 2014. Chrysler's reference number for this recall is P62.

Hazard

If the TPMS light illuminates because the sensors cannot be located, it could mask an actual low tire pressure condition, possibly resulting in tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

What should I do?

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the TPMS module with new software, free of charge. The recall began on December 8, 2014. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is P62.

Details from the source

Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2014 Ram ProMaster vehicles manufactured April 23, 2013, to August 22, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) may fail to learn the locations of the individual sensors while the vehicle is being driven. As a result, the low tire pressure warning light will illuminate, despite the the tire pressures being within specification. Should one of the tires lose air pressure, the driver would not be notified of the change in air pressure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138, "Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems."
