Chrysler recalls 2010 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks

Chrysler recalls 2010 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 trucks

During the last one year automakers around the world are increasingly focusing more on safety issues. Car companies in the US are making sure that their patrons are safe on the road and are not thinking twice before they are pro-actively recalling vehicles even with the simplest problems. Toyota is one automaker who has learned its lessons pretty late. Toyota paid a very high price in consumer loyalty and in fines for failing to voluntarily take cognizance of the unintended acceleration in their cars that reportedly had claimed many lives.

Now Chrysler has woken up to a seemingly trifle issue and is planning to issue a voluntary recall of their 2010 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups. This is witness to the car manufacturer's overtly cautious approach to the safety of his patrons, especially when there is not a single accident or casualty reported due to this purported problem.

The voluntary recall of Chrysler's 2010 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickup has been precipitated when it is realized that a piece of wrong information is put on the vehicle label. This kind of labels are generally found located in the driver's side door jamb. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), some of the new 2010 Ram trucks have wrong information on the vehicle label about the tire pressure and load capacity of the pick up.

In the worst scenario a 2010 Ram truck owner may religiously follow the wrong advice printed on these labels. He would then either overload or try to put in more people in to his 2010 Ram. This can lead to a safety issue as the truck's chassis and drive-train in the truck are not built for this type of loads.

This recall may sound pretty trivial but then an annoyingly lackadaisical and impractical attitude shown by some consumers lately may prompt companies to recall cars on flimsy grounds. I guess, any veteran driver of a 2010 Ram regular cab would do some research before blindly following the words on the sticker to haul 10,000 lbs and carry 6 people on a Ram 1500 (half-ton), 2500 (three-quarter-ton) and 3500 (one-ton) series pick up.

Hauling 10,000 pounds and carrying 6 people in it, grossly overloads a Ram. Hypothetically it could create dangerous driving conditions. Decal recalls can also be handled in a simpler manner if the dealership/manufacturer just sends the correct decal in the mail with the letter. However, with so much dust kicked up every time a quality or safety issue is perceived, this 2010 Ram recall only indicates how a car manufacturer is refusing to take chances however small an issue is. In the same spirit Chrysler is keen to address this issue, no matter how minor or major it tends to be. The auto industry has learned lessons from Toyota's predicament.

The 2010 Ram recall announcement is likely to go out later this month. According to the Chrysler, the recall service would be very simple. A certified Chrysler service technician will inspect the 2010 Ram door jamb decals to make sure that they read the proper load and passenger capacities. In the event that the decals are misrepresented, a proper decal will be applied..
