# NHTSA recall 19V347000 A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups. - Published by: NHTSA \(United States\) - Campaign number: 19V347000 - Manufacturer's number: V44 - Manufacturer: Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) - Reported: 2019\-05\-09 - Owners notified: 2019\-05\-23 - Component: LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:TAILGATE:LATCH - Units potentially affected: 1103209 ## What is wrong Chrysler \(FCA US LLC\) is recalling certain 2015\-2017 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks equipped with an 8 foot bed and a power locking tailgate. Chrysler is also recalling all 2013\-2014 and 2018 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks built before April 1, 2018 with a 6 or 8 foot bed and a power locking tailgate. On August 29, 2019 Chrysler expanded the recall to include an additional 693,128 model year 2013\-2014 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks. The tailgate actuator limiter tab may fracture and cause the tailgate to unlatch and open while driving. ## What can happen If the tailgate opens while the vehicle is being driven, cargo may fall out the vehicle and create a road hazard, increasing the risk of crash. ## The remedy Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will repair the tailgate latch, free of charge. The recall began May 23, 2019. Chrysler is expected to notify owners of the expanded population on October 18, 2019. Owners may contact FCA US customer service at 1\-800\-853\-1403. FCA US's number for this recall is V44. Note: 2015\-2017 MY Ram 1500 pickup trucks with truck beds other than 8 foot, are currently covered under NHTSA recall 18V\-486 for this issue. ## 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. ## Remedy progress the manufacturer reported - Report: Quarterly report 7, for 2020 quarter 4 - Filed with NHTSA: 2021\-01\-19 - Vehicles in the campaign: 1103209 - Reported remedied: 634048 \(57%\) - Reported unreachable: 33805 - Reported removed: 23948 These are the manufacturer's totals for the whole campaign at the end of 2020 quarter 4, as filed with NHTSA.
