## What is wrong

Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) is recalling certain model year 2015\-2016 Ram 1500 trucks manufactured January 22, 2015, to September 13, 2015.  Contamination on the Electric Power Steering \(EPS\) control circuit board may cause a short and result in the loss of power steering assist.


## What can happen

If the vehicle experiences a loss of power steering assist, extra steering effort will be required, especially at lower speeds, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the EPS unit, free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin on May 16, 2016.  Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.  Chrysler's number for this recall is S19.
