Chrysler Recalls Dodge Ram Trucks
Chrysler recalled certain model Dodge Ram trucks because the left tie rod ball stud may fracture. This condition tends to occur during low speed parking lot type maneuvers when the driver is making a tight turn. The condition could result in the loss of directional stability in the left hand front wheel, increasing the risk of a crash. Additionally, model year 2003-2008 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 vehicles may have received the affected tie rod assembly as a replacement part during normal service.
Chrysler has yet to provide an owner notification schedule for the 242,780 vehicles affected by this recall. Once notified, the owner will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the tie rod ends inspected for relative orientation, to have the left outer tie rod replaced as required and to align the front end toe as needed, free of charge. Information on this and other recalls may be found at safercar.gov.
