2002 Dodge RAM 1500 Structure Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	938033
Internal NHTSA #	10472718
Manufacurer	CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
Brand	DODGE
Model	RAM 1500
Model Year	2002
File date	15/08/10
Component	STRUCTURE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Main dash began cracking in multiple places. Forward dash panel has now cracked and split into many separate pieces creating loose, sharp, plastic materials which pose a safety hazard in the event of a crash. Some of the pieces have cracked away and have fallen behind the instrument panel and some have fallen into the duct work as well. Having occurred on many dodge rams, this creates a wide-spread safety issue and not just an isolated incident. I strongly feel that a recall should be issued on the affected years and the faulty dash panels should be replaced by the manufacturer to prevent any unnecessary injuries or safety concerns.

What is Recall?
