Fiat Chrysler Automobiles announced today that it will recall a lot more than 250,000 Dodge Ram 1500 pickups in the U.S. for a issue that can trigger the rear axle to lock up at speed. The concern is restricted to model year 2005 trucks built amongst January 2004 and August 2005.

The problem stems from a rear-axle pinion nut that can function its way loose, potentially causing the rear axle to lock up without having warning. FCA reports that 3 accidents and 1 injury are potentially associated to the issue. NHTSA launched an investigation in June after receiving 15 incident complaints, 6 of which occurred at highway speeds with no prior warning of impending issues.




The repair involves installing retaining hardware to ensure the pinion nut holds in spot. FCA estimates 256,956 U.S. trucks are impacted, along with 21,779 in Canada and 8802 in Mexico.
