Dodge Recalls Model Year 2005 Ram Pickups for Possible Axle Lock-Up

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles announced these days that it will recall a lot more than 250,000 Dodge Ram 1500 pickups in the U.S. for a issue that can cause the rear axle to lock up at speed. The situation is limited to model year 2005 trucks constructed in between January 2004 and August 2005.

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

The fix involves installing retaining hardware to make sure the pinion nut holds in place. FCA estimates 256,956 U.S. trucks are affected, along with 21,779 in Canada and 8802 in Mexico.
