What's wrong?
The certification label on a 2014 Ram 5500 is the compliance sticker that tells an owner, dealer, inspector, or body installer the truck's official weight rating. One key line is the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, or GVWR, which is the maximum loaded weight the truck is certified to carry under FMVSS 567.
On affected 5500 trucks, that label lists the wrong GVWR. The truck itself is not being recalled here for a broken mechanical part. The defect is the certification information attached to the vehicle, which means the label does not match the federal certification rule Ram had to meet.
An owner will not hear, feel, or see a driving symptom from an incorrect label. There is no warning sign before failure. Treat the label as unreliable until a Ram dealer installs the corrected certification label.

Not every 2014 Ram 5500 truck is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
An incorrect GVWR label can lead an operator to overload the vehicle, which increases crash risk. Until the label is corrected, confirm the proper loading limit with a Ram dealer and avoid carrying loads near the posted maximum. Repair will be free at any franchised Ram dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014 Ram 5500 is included in this recall.
- Watch for Ram's owner notice if you have not received it, then contact a franchised Ram dealer for the free corrected certification label.
- Call the dealer and reference recall number 14V100 when you ask about the label repair.
- Schedule the corrected certification-label replacement, which fixes the incorrect Gross Vehicle Weight Rating on the truck.
- Avoid loading the truck beyond the weight rating shown on the corrected label after the dealer installs it.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ram technician replaces the incorrect certification labels with corrected labels at no charge under the recall once the repair is available. The corrected labels show the proper Gross Vehicle Weight Rating for the Ram 5500, so the truck's certification information matches the federal certification requirement. Parts and labor are covered by the recall. Call the service desk with your VIN so the dealer can confirm the campaign and order or prepare the correct label set before your appointment.
