STERLING HEIGHTS, MI -- A brazen robbery attempt led to seven people being arrested Tuesday morning who are accused of trying to steal multiple vehicles from the Stellantis plant in Sterling Heights. According to Fox 2 Detroit, the group of thieves made entry into the grounds of the plant located on Van Dyke near 17 Mile Road and tried to steal several Ram trucks.

The latest warning comes roughly six weeks after the company previously warned drivers of impacted models to park their cars until the air bags are fixed.

Stellantis is recalling about 1.4 million pickup trucks worldwide because the tailgates may not close completely and cargo could spill onto the road.

DETROIT (AP) — Stellantis is recalling about 1.4 million pickup trucks worldwide because the tailgates may not close completely and cargo could spill onto the road. The recall covers Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups from the 2019 to 2022 model years.

In the meantime, Stellantis says owners should make sure they secure any cargo in the beds. Pickups with “multi-function tailgates,” the Ram 1500 Classic, and trucks with sensors that alert drivers to unsecured tailgates are not affected by the recall, the company says.
