Ram 1500 and 2500 recalled

Ram Trucks Australia distributor Ateco Automotive has issued three recall notices for an assortment of Ram pickup trucks that may have defective airbag inflators.

“If airbag inflator ruptures, compressed gas can rapidly escape from the inflator, propelling material, such as headliner or trim pieces into the vehicle,” the company warns in its recall notices.

“Material being propelled into an occupied vehicle may cause injury.”
