Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Chrysler is recalling certain Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 pickup trucks from model years 2013-2014, 2015-2017, and 2018 equipped with power locking tailgates. The tailgate actuator limiter tab may fracture, causing the tailgate to unlatch and open while the vehicle is being driven. If this occurs, cargo may fall out of the vehicle and create a road hazard that could increase the risk of a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners at no cost to them, and dealers will repair the tailgate latch free of charge. The recall began on May 23, 2019, with an expanded population notification expected on October 18, 2019. Owners should contact FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403 with questions or to arrange service, referencing recall number V44.
