Rear Step Recall

[Npd9769]

I took my 19 Laramie Longhorn to a dealer for the first oil change. While there, the Service Writer advised me of two more recalls on my truck. I knew of the recall for the back up camera but she said there was another pending one for the rear step. I asked her what the problem was with that and she stated she wasn't sure but as of now there was no fix but I should receive a notice in the mail soon. Has anyone else heard of this?

Hmmm. Hope there is a recall. I have a step too. The one on my truck is verrry hard to deploy then it snaps back with a vengeance sounding like a gunshot when it hits the stop. I didn’t order it, it just happened to be on the truck. I don’t use it at all because of how it works.

I got my foot stuck in mine when I tried to kick it in. I haven’t used it since then, lost a toe nail. Ouch!

Never knew that rear steps were a factory option on the Ram's. Learn something new everyday.

For $195.00 you too could have had a chunk of factory installed scrap iron. Which apparently doubles as a toe smasher.

That's great (NOT). I just installed one on my Laramie. It won't be covered by the recall because it didn't come with the truck. I like the step, and use it quite a bit. But it does bother me how hard it slams home.

When I asked about getting one for my Power Wagon, I was told it would be available in August. Who knows with the games being played in Michigan.

I bought one for my 2019 2500 in Feb. Use it all the time. I'm short,lol

I’ve not received any notification. Ordered mine with the truck so it’s been on from factory. I love mine. Took me a while to figure out how to deploy it and get it back in, but now it’s like butter, and yes, it snaps back in but I like that. No way for it to come out on it’s own. Takes next to no pressure to pull it out and push it in when you do it parallel with the truck.

My truck came with one from factory and it was stolen in railroad parking lot, never used it anyway

Guys.....

Put your left hip towards the truck bed, use your right foot on the ledge and push it out.

Then use your hands to push it in and control the close.

Yes, I got the step and the recall notice. The recall is for side load durability concerns on the mounting bracket. So far I have no concerns with how it functions.

My step came with the Bed Utility Group with the led bed lighting and spray in bed liner for $695, which is very reasonable. I use my step a few times a week and it has been flawless. I love it, especially for how high the back end of these trucks are.

Got mine with that package as well. Haven't seen anything for a recall come my way.

Maybe the 1500 uses a different mount. Mine came in the mail...twice since I've had the truck in the last 5 months.

My 2019 2500 tradesman had one on it from the factory, but was removed at dealership just prior to me buying the truck due to the recall. I never even got to use or even see it, but I paid for it.

Same here. Dealer was "forced" to remove mine before I could pick up the truck. Sure hope they come up with a replacement soon. It would come in very handy!

Yup, me too, removed at delivery. Awaiting replacement.
