Vehicles Affected: Approximately 11,300 model-year 2015-17 Ram ProMaster City vans
The Problem: The tire placard contains incorrect information that includes wrong vehicle capacity weight, total number of occupants, tire pressure and “none” designation for the spare-tire size when a full-size spare tire is present. This could cause the driver to exceed the vehicle’s weight capacity or inflate the tires to an incorrect pressure, affecting vehicle handling and increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the incorrect tire placard with a corrected one for free.
