2019 RAM 5500 — Complaint #1993232
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about TIRES:BEAD filed May 21, 2024
NHTSA complaint #1993232 (ODI reference 11589940) concerns a 2019 RAM 5500 and was filed on May 21, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on May 21, 2024. The report was geocoded to Ohio based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as tires:bead, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same RAM 5500 cohort independently describe similar tires:bead failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2019 RAM 5500 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
