NHTSA Complaint #10585728 — 2014 RAM 1500

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2014 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 TRUCK THAT CAME EQUIPPED FROM THE FACTORY WITH 20 INCH WHEELS. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE SPARE IS A FACTORY 17 INCH FULL SIZED WHEEL. I WAS ADVISED BY MY LOCAL TIRE DEALER THAT IT WOULD BE HIGHLY DANGEROUS TO TRAVEL ANY DISTANCE WITH THE A SPARE THAT DIFFERENTIATED THAT MUCH IN DIAMETER AND COULD INFACT CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE WHICH PROBABLY WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY THE FACTORY WARRANTY. WHEN I INQUIRED AT THE RAM NATIONAL CUSTOMER CENTER I BASICALLY GOT THE RUN AROUND. THEY DID HOWEVER GIVE ME A CASE NUMBER [XXX] THEIR PHONE NUMBER IS 866-726-4636. I BELIEVE THIS COULD CAUSE A SITUATION THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY TO AN UNSUSPECTING PURCHASER THAT WAS NOT AWARE OF THE WHEEL SIZE DIFFERENCE AND DROVE UNKOWININGLY A GREAT DISTANCE WITH THE SPARE PROVIDED BY THE FACTORY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) *JS
