## What is wrong

Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) is recalling certain 2018\-2019 Ram 1500 pickup trucks.  The rear driveshaft may have an incomplete weld fusion between the tube and tube yoke, which may lead to weld cracking or the driveshaft fracturing.


## What can happen

A fractured rear driveshaft could detach from the vehicle and become a road hazard, or it may result in a loss of drive power, both of which can increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

FCA US will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear driveshaft, free of charge.  The recall began June 13, 2019.  Owners may contact FCA US customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403.  The FCA US recall number is V48.


## 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.
