What Happened
The rear axle spring leaves in your truck are responsible for supporting the weight of your vehicle. In some 2008 Dodge or Freightliner 2500s, these springs were made with the wrong material, making them thicker than they should be.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rear axle springs fail prematurely, you could experience a loss of stability or even a crash, especially if you're carrying a heavy load or towing a trailer.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect and replace the rear axle springs with the correct ones, all at no cost to you. You should contact your dealer to confirm repair availability and schedule the fix.
