Hey guys and girls. I was Watching the news this morning and there is a recall on some steering issues for our trucks. I know a lot of people will be happy about this. More details to follow. Next month we all should see some paper work in the mail :thumbsup:

What if your not the original owner?

It doesn't matter if you're the 10th owner, you will get a notice if you're the registered owner.

Well that's a great laugh to start off the morning. Perhaps I'm cynical but doubt the recall is anything significant. Would love to be proven wrong though. Owners have been clamoring for years for Dodge to get off their thumbs to fix the steering & front end problems. Instead we are left to piece together our own systems through aftermarket sources.

I would be blown away to see anything of significance. I fixed the damn multifunction switch by cleaning all the dirty dielectric grease from the circuit board.

Wow this is really incredible.

I believe that one of the recalls (three different ones) announced was for tie rods on third gen 2500/3500 series trucks. Notice will be going out by late December, just in time for Christmas.....

Chrysler recalls 1.2 million Ram pickups

Thank you for posting this. I think I have replaced everything already but will be good to check it out further.

Stupid question, how do I get the truck registered in my name since I bought it from the owner not a dealer?

Thanks,
Jake

The recall for the multi-function switch included reimbursement for anyone who paid to have it fixed before they issued the recall, so keep your receipts handy.

If Dodge doesn't put ownership change postcards into their owner's manuals like other manufacturers, this appears to be the way that you can enter your vehicle purchase online:

When you retitle the vehicle in your name the oe has info when it looks up the vin

 

[ronjohn]

You can call Chrysler cust. assistance @1-800-247-9753 go through all the prompts and you will get a real person who will up date the info they have on your truck. Then, there will be no question regarding current owner.

Sounds like what some folks have experienced on here going to the upgraded steering system. Tie rods not installed right and after a while, they snap. And it's only for 08+ trucks.

The first case covers 842,400 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks from 2003 through 2008. Chrysler says 116,000 were repaired with tie-rods in the steering system that could be out of alignment.

The other two involve trucks with tie-rod assemblies that were replaced in previous recalls. They cover 294,000 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks from the 2008 through 2012 model years, and 2008 Ram 1500 four-by-four mega cabs. Also included are 43,000 Ram 4500 and 5500 four-by-four chassis cabs from 2008 through 2012.

That's from the quote from Chrysler. I've been lucky enough to never have the death wobble or any other issues and my trucks been on 38s since new. Stock steering components (tie rods included) except for the Rize kit, which just keeps the geometry the same by adding in an idler arm. Not sure I'll bother taking mine in, they'll probably kick me out the door. It's been my experience though that the tie rods have nothing to do with the death wobble...always was the trac bar.

 

[jshallen]

will they deny service if you have a leveling kit or lift?

 

[mprlvr69]

It's possible because of how the recall is stated...they will inspect and determine if it's needed. I think it all depends on the dealer.

I am done with Rams. Great engine tranny combo its a real work horse but when you cant keep it between the ditches it belongs in a farm field. I have replaced my entire front end plus added a stablizer bar at the cost of thousands and still can not keep the front end aligned as it wanders all over the road. Going back to a Chevy and putting heavy hauling behind me, not enough fun per gallon anymore when all you do is work on the truck. Just my 02.

:S:
