## What is wrong

Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) is recalling certain 2017 Ram 1500 trucks.  The fuel tanks in the affected vehicles may have a broken fuel tank control valve which might leak fuel if the vehicle were to become inverted.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 301, "Fuel System Integrity."


## What can happen

In the event of a rollover crash, leaking fuel in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.


## The remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel tanks, free of charge.  The recall began on August 10, 2017.  Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.  Chrysler's number for this recall is T45.


## 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.
