Recall Date:
March 28th, 2008

Affected Component: Steering:linkages:tie rod assembly.

Summary: Affinia is recalling 5,700 aftermarket chassis tie rod assemblies manufactured from march 28, 2006 through march 17, 2008, sold for use on my 1998 and 1999 dodge ram 2500 and 3500 heavy duty trucks. The dust seal supplied with the chassis tie rods were manufactured to the wrong specification. As a consequence, the dust seal may prevent the ball stud of the chassis tie rod from properly seating into the taper of the vehicle steering knuckle during aftermarket installation. .

Conequence: If this condition remains undetected, the bolt can eventually unseat completely, causing the affected wheel to disengage from the steering mechanism, possibly resulting in a crash. .

Remedy: Affinia will notify owners and replace the affected chassis tie rod assemblies free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during april 2008. Owners may contact affinia at 734-827-5400. .

Notes: This recall only pertains to aftermarket brake parts chassis tie rods and has no relation to any original equipment installed on dodge ram trucks manufactured by chrysler, llc. Customers may contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty: 1-800-424-9153).
