Chrysler Recalls Dodge Ram Trucks

Chrysler is recalling about 242,000 Dod Ram trucks from model years 2008 through 2011 to fix problems with the steering linkages and tie rod assembly.

The company said the left tie rod ball stud may fracture, often during low-speed parking lot maneuvers when the driver is making a tight turn.

The problem could cause the “loss of directional stability in the left-hand front wheel,” the company said.

The recalled models include:

Dealers will inspect the tie rod ends and, if necessary, replace them free of charge.
