Outer Tie Rod Failure Defect Investigation for the 2010 Ram
Vehicle Component: Steering:Linkages:Tie Rod Assembly
Summary: ODI received complaints regarding failing tie rod ball studs on model year 2008-2011 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 vehicles resulting in loss of steering control. Chrysler concluded that misalignment of the left (driver side) ball stud on vehicles built with the cross car steering linkage system could allow contact between the bull stud and the ball housing which could weaken the stud and result in fracture. Chrysler submitted a recall notice on August 15, 2011 involving certain MY 2003-2011 Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 pickup trucks built or repaired with the cross car steering linkage. Chrysler will inspect, repair or realign the front end of the subject vehicles as needed. Chrysler's announcement of a safety recall on this matter addresses ODI's concerns.
