What's wrong?
The certification and supplemental tire pressure labels on the 2011 Dodge Ram are the factory labels that tell an owner how the truck was certified. They list key loading information, including weight and seating capacity, so the owner, dealer, or inspection shop can match the truck to its approved limits.
On affected Ram trucks, those labels were printed with incorrect weight or seating capacity information. The truck itself is not described as having a broken mechanical part in this recall. The problem is that the label gives the wrong information to anyone using it to load, inspect, or service the truck.
There is no warning sign before failure. The label can look normal because the issue is the printed information, not a part that makes noise, leaks, or turns on a warning light.

What's the safety risk?
The wrong certification or tire-pressure label can lead an owner to load the vehicle outside the proper specifications, which increases crash risk. Use the current load and tire-pressure guidance from Dodge or a Ram dealer until the labels are replaced. Repair will be free at any franchised Ram dealer once available.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ram technician installs replacement certification labels and, when included, supplemental tire pressure information labels with the corrected weight or seating capacity details. The source remedy says this label service began on December 22, 2010, and is performed free of charge. If your label packet arrives by mail, keep it with the vehicle until the corrected labels are installed. The dealer repair will be free.
