Description of the problem	i received a recall notice for a possible differential failure that could cause an accident. I made an appointment at the dodge dealer in vicksburg michigan. The truck developed a vibration days before the appointment, so i parked it for two days. On the way to the dealership appointment, the vibration worsened and i dared not drive over 45 mph. The dealership informed me that no parts are available to repair my differential. I called the number on my recall notification to talk to a dodge / chrysler representative. He informed me that no parts are yet available, and that they could be a week to one year away, as they are searching for some one to manufacture them. The differential plant in detroit was closed shortly after my model year truck. The newer dodge trucks have differentials manufactured by american axle in mexico. This is so frustrating, i need my truck to drive to work, 30 miles, to american axle in three rivers michigan. I run machines that make differential gears for gm trucks. My truck cannot be repaired or sold at this time. Dodge had no answer on how to get my truck repaired.
