Defect summary | Chrysler (fca us llc) is recalling certain 2015-2017 ram promaster city vehicles. These vehicles have incorrect information on the tire placard including incorrect vehicle capacity weight, total number of occupants, tire pressure and/or "none" designation for the spare tire size when a full size spare tire is present.
