Description of the problem	On 2/21/2006, i purchased a 2006 dodge ram, 1500, 4x2. Recently my truck encountered a front wheel bearing malfunction, when going around left hand curves i would hear a loud "thumping" noise. In doing some research on automobile recalls, i foung manf. Compaign # g02 and nhtsa campaign # 07v038000 has recalled 2006 dodge ram pickup trucks for "suspension; front; wheel bearing, the summary of the recall reads "on certain p/u trucks, the front wheel bearings may have received an insufficent quantity oof grease during the manufacturing process, but only those that were built between 11/7/05 and 4/27/06, my truck was built on 10/1/05 (5 weeks prior to the recall.) currently, i have owned my truck for 46 mos. However it only has 21,800 miles, back on 9/10/08 i had taken it to the dealership account of frontend viberation, their determination was tie-rod ends and they replaced them under warranty. In contacting chrysler, they said they would replace the bearing if i would pay a $50. 00 co-pay, which i did and they made the repairs. The dealership said that they could not tell if the malfunction was due to lack of grease account of the bearing being a "sealed unit". I find it very odd that this malfunction has happeneedwith only this few miles and is not included in the recall, i am also wondering if any other dodge customers have had the same problem and also wondering if the recall should not include dates prior to and/or after the original recall dates. Thank you for your time in this matter.
