What’s wrong with it?
A separated brake pedal can result in the driver being unable to apply the service brakes, increasing the risk of a crash.
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2020-2021 Ram 1500 Classic SLT trucks.
Certain vehicles were built without the retaining clip that secures the master cylinder push rod to the brake pedal, which can cause the brake pedal to separate from the brake system.
