## What the record says

- **Product**: RAM 1500 (2022) - Recall 21V871000
- **Reason**: Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Ram 1500 vehicles. These vehicles may have been built with incompatible heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (HVAC), resulting in the windshield defrosting and defogging system being inoperable to drivers. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 103, "Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems." An inoperable defrosting and defogging system can reduce visibility for drivers in certain conditions, increasing the risk of a crash.
