The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a recall of certain Ram vehicles due to a safety risk with the airbag inflators, reports WHTM.

Included in the recall are certain 2019 Ram 1500 Classic, Ram 3500, and 2019 to 2020 Ram 2500 trucks. A total of 1,879 vehicles are impacted, with an estimated 0.1% having the manufacturing defect.
