## What is wrong

Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) is recalling certain model year 2014 Ram 2500 trucks and 2013\-2014 Ram 3500 trucks and cab chassis manufactured October 9, 2012, to July 29, 2014.  The affected vehicles may have inadequate welds securing the front track bar frame brackets, which may result in the bracket components separating from the frame.


## What can happen

If the bracket components separate from the frame, the vehicle may be more difficult to steer and control, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and install a reinforcement bracket over the front track bar bracket. This recall began on February 24, 2016.  Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.  Chrysler's number for this recall is R46.


## 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.
