Chrysler "FCA US LLC" is recalling certain model year 2015 Ram 4500, and 5500 pickup trucks manufactured January 30, 2015, to February 6, 2015. The affected vehicles may have inadequate penetration of the front upper control arm loop to spacer weld, reducing the front suspension stability.
A reduction of suspension stability control could affect control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
