Chrysler LLC is recalling about 57,000 Dodge Ram 1500s manufactured between September 2009 and December 2010.
The company said some vehicles may experience a grinding sound from the rear axle bearing. If the bearing eventually seizes, the vehicle could stall, possibly causing a crash.
Chrysler dealers will replace the bearing when the recall begins in February 2011.
Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
