Here at the Seniors Discount Club, we know safety is paramount. That's why we think it's essential to keep you informed about any recalls and safety issues regarding the products you use.
Today, we're covering two crucial recalls—one in the auto sector and the other in the food industry.
For road trippers, tradies and anyone who needs a set of wheels to cruise around in, it’s hard to look past the utes from Ram Trucks Australia.
These vehicles have a fantastic reputation for their dependability, comfort and toughness. But if you’ve recently splashed out on one of the company’s 2019-2022 Ram 1500, 2500 or 3500 models, you may want to listen up.
Ram Trucks Australia has recalled 3,014 vehicles from its 2019-2022 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models due to a manufacturing defect that could result in the tailgate opening inopportunely while driving or standing still.
Ram Trucks Australia converts the vehicles from left- to right-hand-drive at the Walkinshaw facility in Melbourne. The defect is believed to have originated when the trucks were first assembled in left-hand drive.
So, if you're driving a 2019-2022 Ram 1500, 2500, or 3500, this recall might concern you!
The Department of Infrastructure details the risk stating, 'If the tailgate opens while the vehicle is in motion, unsecured cargo may fall onto the road and into traffic. This increases the risk of an accident causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.'
Between 2019 and 2022, around 16,362 Ram utes found a home in Australia, with a record-breaking 6,149 sales registered last year alone.

Our advice to all Ram owners affected by this recall is to contact an authorised dealer nearest you for an inspection and necessary free-of-charge repair. For further information, contact Ram's customer assistance team at 1300 681 762.
Now, let's move on to the second recall—a ready-made meal from Efoodz Pty Ltd. If you enjoy convenient, quick, and healthy meals, this recall may pertain to you. Efoodz recalls its Roast Beef and 3 Veg medley with gravy meal sold across gyms in Victoria and available online as well.
Food Standards Australia and New Zealand released a recall notice, citing an undeclared allergen—gluten—on the product packaging. Gluten allergies and intolerances can be quite serious, so it's crucial to be aware of them.
The food safety watchdog's website statement reads, 'Any consumers who have a gluten allergy or intolerance may have a reaction if the product is consumed.'
We urge our members with gluten allergies or intolerances to avoid consuming the aforementioned Efoodz meal. If you have already purchased it, you can return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. The affected meals have Use By dates of:
