2001 Dodge RAM 1500 Structure Body Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1552499
Internal NHTSA #	11193458
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	DODGE
Model	RAM 1500
Model Year	2001
File date	22/01/14
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Dash panel has cracked badly to the point pieces have fallen out exposing wires, connectors, ducts and other under-dash components. I am concerned this may affect inflation of air bags and potential for pieces of cracked dash to cause severe injury in the event of air bag deployment. Dash panel cracking on these models is well known to chrysler, and has drawn national media attention (eg new york times, 2013). Chrysler has apparently refused to acknowledge its liability to repair this problem.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
