| Description of the problem | There is a recall for 2006 dodge ram 1500 trucks for the front wheel bearing, it wears out causing a lot of noise and vibration and the wheel can actually fall off, the campaign # for this incident is g02. My problem is i own a 2004 dodge ram 1500 with only 77000 kilometers and the exact situation happened to me and my right front wheel fell off from a worn front wheel bearing, luckily no damage occurred since i was only going 5 klms an hour at the time but the bearing ended up costing me 325. 00 canadian with tax and with only 77,000 klms this should not occur ever. Can someone get back to me please and thanks. |
