The control arm bracket may separate from the axle tube due to poor weld quality. This may result in reduced directional stability, braking degradation, and/or vehicle pull under braking, which can lead to an accident.
You must visit a Ram dealership to perform recall repairs on your Ram truck. The schedule for Chrysler to contact known owners of affected vehicles was during March, 2000. If you did not receive a notification, but wish to check to see if your vehicle is included, please contact one of your local Ram truck dealerships. They will also check for any other incomplete recalls on your vehicle. For best results, be prepared to provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to the service department consultant you speak with. The Chrysler recall number is 861.
