NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Fiat Chrysler is recalling 1.3 million pickup trucks because of a software problem tied to at least one death and two injuries.

The problem could disable side airbags from deploying and seat belts from tightening in a rollover accident.

The affected vehicles are the 2013-16 Ram 1500 and 2500 pickups, and 2014-2016 Ram 3500 pickups.

The recall covers about 1 million pickups in the United States and another 270,000 in foreign countries.
