Abstract: At present, there are several hints of lepton flavor non-universality. The LHCb Collaboration has measured $R_{K}equivcalB(B^{+}o{K}^{+}m{u}^{+}m{u}^{-})/calB(B^{+}o{K}^{+}{e}^{+}{e}^{-})$, and the BaBar Collaboration has measured $$ ($ell=e,mu$). In all cases, the experimental results differ from the standard model predictions by 2-3$sigma$. Recently, an explanation of the $R_K$ puzzle was proposed in which new physics (NP) generates a neutral-current operator involving only third-generation particles. Now, assuming the scale of NP is much larger than the weak scale, this NP operator must be made invariant under the full $SU(3{)}_{C}imesSU(2{)}_{L}imesU(1{)}_Y$ gauge group. In this Letter, we note that, when this is done, a new charged-current operator can appear, and this can explain the $R(D^{(\ast )})$ puzzle. A more precise measurement of the double ratio $R(D)/R(D^{\ast })$ can rule out this model.
