Vehicles Affected: Approximately 3,500 model-year 2018 Ram ProMaster vans
The Problem: An incorrect rivet may have been used to attach the front door impact sensor. This could cause the sensor housing to fracture, affecting deployment of the standard supplemental side airbags during certain side-impact crashes, increasing the risk of injury.
The Fix: Dealers will replace both front door impact pressure sensors and secure them with the correct rivets for free.
