Chrysler Group will recall approximately 6,900 heavy-duty trucks in the U.S. and Canada to prevent front axle damage.
Following reports that two trucks had sustained such damage, Chrysler Group engineers launched an investigation and discovered some trucks were subject to a condition that may cause the front prop shaft to bind or fracture, resulting in power loss.
Chrysler Group is unaware of any related accidents or injuries.
Dealers will replace or repair the front axles at no cost to customers, who will be notified directly.
The recall affects approximately 5,600 model-year 2012 Ram 4500 and 5500 trucks in the U.S., and an additional 1,300 in Canada.
Customers with questions or concerns can call 1-800-853-1403.

Chrysler Group will recall approximately 30,000 trucks to restore tail-lamp warning function.
If a tail-lamp is not functioning properly, the trucks are designed to alert drivers with an instrument-panel warning light. Chrysler Group dealers will perform a software upgrade, at no cost to customers, to reactivate the warning light, which is a mandated safety feature. Tail-lamp function is unaffected.
“Chrysler Group is unaware of any accidents, injuries or complaints associated with this recall,” said Kristin Kolodge, Senior Manager-Product Investigations and Campaigns. “This proactive response reflects our ongoing commitment to regulatory compliance and customer satisfaction.”
The issue was discovered by Chrysler Group engineers performing routine testing.
The campaign involves approximately 17,400 model-year 2013 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups in the U.S.; 11,500 in Canada; 470 in Mexico and 775 in markets outside NAFTA. Affected customers will be contacted directly.
Customers with questions or concerns can call 1-800-853-1403.

Chrysler Group will recall approximately 1,200 heavy-duty pickup trucks to ensure their headlamps comply with regulations when in high-beam mode.
An internal investigation by Chrysler Group engineers discovered some vehicles were assembled with headlamps whose high beams may not comply with standards governing aim and intensity. Chrysler Group will update the software that controls headlamp function, at no cost to customers.
Chrysler Group is unaware of any associated accidents injuries or complaints.
The recall is limited to certain 2013 Ram 2500 and 3500 models equipped with premium headlamps. Approximately 1,100 are in the U.S., 170 are in Canada and 15 are outside the NAFTA region.
Affected customers will be contacted directly. Questions or concerns can be addressed by calling 1-800-853-1403.
My thoughts on all things motoring, press releases, reviews & techie stuff, from around the world. Please note that the pictures of vehicles within this blog are used as examples of the specific press releases, on occasions, due to the lack of available official pictures, examples are re-produced. ANY AND ALL PROFANITIES WILL BE REMOVED AND THE PERSON/S RESPONSIBLE WILL BE BANNED, NO EXCEPTIONS.
Purpose
I will try my best to provide detailed info on various cars and what is like to live with them, I have already produced a few for Jaguar-car-forums, I will do my best to be unbiased, but it will be hard for some cars. I will re-produce press releases and copy from other motoring news.
