2010 Dodge Ram recalled over incorrectly printed labels
2010 Dodge Ram recalled over incorrectly printed labels
Owners of 2010 Dodge Ram and Ram HD pickups are being asked to head to their nearest dealership. The trucks are part of a recall focusing on a label printed with incorrect information. For some vehicles, the tire-pressure label lists incorrect weight or seating capacity information. If the inaccurate information on the labels is followed, it could lead to safety issues as a result of improperly loaded trucks.
New labels will be installed free of charge at your nearest Dodge dealership. The recall is scheduled to begin this month (October 2010).

Lol yeah Mike! Just when you think some interesting products are starting to come up at Chrysler, some retarded oversight causes yet another embarrasment for the company. Wonder if those smoking and drinking employees recently let go had a hand in this lol

I had similar one of these for my Tundra a couple of months ago....
It took me a couple of reads of the recall notice to figure out what the recall is for and what I have to do.... the Cliffs notes version is that when Southeast Toyota added options to my truck in the vehicle processing center, they didn't account for the weight of those options on the 'load carrying capacity' stickers on the door jamb.
So to bring my Tundra into compliance, SE Toyota sent a bright yellow sticker I'm supposed to put onto the door jamb that says
They apologized for any inconvenience this condition may have caused me.
2 lbs? That's water weight from my morning pee. At least they mailed me the sticker and didn't make me go to the dealer for them to put it on.
