- Manufacturer's number: N35
- Manufacturer: Chrysler Group LLC

## What is wrong

Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2013 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks manufactured September 9, 2012, through March 5, 2013 and equipped with optional premium tail lamps.  In the affected vehicles, the turn signal indicator may not flash at a double rate to give a notification to the driver of a turn signal malfunction.  Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) No. 108, "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."


## What can happen

Without a warning that the turn signal is malfunctioning, the driver would continue to use the vehicle, unaware that other drivers on the road are not being notified that the vehicle is turning, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the Central Body Controller software, free of charge.  The recall began June 27, 2013.  Owners may contact Chrysler at 1\-800\-853\-1403. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N35.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
