## What is wrong

Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) is recalling certain model year 2015 RAM 2500 trucks, and RAM 3500 trucks and cab chassis.  The affected vehicles may have inadequate welds securing the front track bar frame brackets, possibly resulting in the bracket components separating from the frame.


## What can happen

If the bracket components separate from the frame, the vehicle may have a reduced response to steering input, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will weld on a new track bar frame bracket or replace the frame of the vehicle, free of charge.  The recall began on September 14, 2016.  Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.  Chrysler's number for this recall is S58.


## 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.
