2006 Dodge RAM 1500 recall: suspension
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain pickup trucks, the front wheel bearing may have received an insufficient quantity of grease during the manufacturing process.
💥 The risk
This could result in bearing degradation, and if subsequent noise and vibration are ignored, could result in hub assembly separation. This may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause a crash without warning.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the front hub and bearing units. The recall began on february 26, 2007. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
