Chrysler is recalling 6,574 model year 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 vehicles manufactured December 17, 2012, through January 22, 2013.
The parking brake cable equalizer was set incorrectly and may not hold the vehicle on a 20% grade. If the parking brake fails to operate as designed, the vehicle could roll when parked, increasing the risk of a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will reset the parking brake cable equalizer if required, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin April 12, 2013.
Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N22.
