| Description of the problem | There has been a recall on my vehicle regarding the rear axle pinion nut potential failure. Notification #n08. I received notification several months back from chrysler stating i would be contacted by local dealer to schedule required repair. Having not received any other communication as of 6/17/13 regarding scheduling of repair i called dealer myself. I was told that the part (nut with locktite) has not been provided to dealers and they are equally frustrated with this issue as they are receiving several calls from other concerned owners. They send out a letter warning you of the potential danger if this nut does fail but do not resolve factory issue in timely matter. The factory will not reimburse an owner if repair is made by others. Any advice or assistance would be very appreciated. Thank you |
