What This Recall Means

Component

POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY

What Happened
The front axle assembly in your RAM 4500 or 5500 truck is the part that connects your wheels to your transmission. There was a problem with how it was welded, which could cause the front drive shaft to break.
Risk if Unfixed
If the drive shaft breaks, it could cause a loss of power to your wheels, making it harder to control your truck and increasing the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your dealer will replace or repair the front axle assembly with a new one that's safe and reliable — at no cost to you. You'll be notified when the repair is ready, and you should schedule it right away.
