Two of the bolts that secure the step also partially secure the driver side hitch mount to the frame. On some 2022 Ram Badlander models (2) bolts may not have been reinstalled (circled in red below). If the two bolts are missing, order OE replacement parts, install and torque to OE specifications.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10229706-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2023/MC-10229706-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10229706","components":[{"id":"structure-body","name":"Body and frame","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"TUSCANY MOTOR CO","model":"RAM BADLANDER","year_from":2022,"year_to":2022,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
