Details

On certain 2008-2011 Ram 2500 and 3500 4x4, Ram 3500 cab chassis 4x2 and 4x4, and 2008 Ram 1500 Mega Cab 4x4 vehicles, the left outer tie rod ball stud could fracture.

Additionally, other 2003-2008 Ram vehicles may have received the affected tie rod as a replacement part during service, and are therefore also involved in this campaign.

Although this condition tends to occur when making a tight turn during low speed parking lot type maneuvers, tie rod failure could result in a loss of directional stability.

A loss of steering control could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the left outer tie rod end and tighten the track bar bolt.

Note: The tie rod replacement portion of this recall was superseded by recall 2013-396.
