What is being recalled

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Ram 1500 vehicles equipped with adjustable pedals. In certain accelerator pedal positions, the floormats may prevent the pedal from returning to the normal resting (idle) position.

Why it is dangerous

A pedal that does not return as expected may affect the vehicle's deceleration, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will modify the driver's floormat to remove the potential for pedal interference, free of charge. The recall began September 10, 2020. Owners may contact FCA US LLC customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is W63.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 20V-513 when calling a dealer.
