Description of the problem	I have a dodge ram 1500 affected by the k17 recall for parts cdea1k171aa (reprogramming) and cdj1k172aa (recirculation door). The second is a actuator for the recirculation door. This recall was completed on 12/22/2010. In jan and again in mar 2014 two more actuator doors went out due to an electrical issue with the actuator. First, part number 68089742aa, for the blend door and secondly, part number 68089742aa, for the foot actuator and the defrost. The gears were stripped on both doors and the vehicle made a loud thumping from under the dash. Both were replaced at my cost. There are four actuator doors in this model ram truck. This is far past coincidental that "actuators" are defective in this truck, but the recall only replaced one when the recall clearly states "actuators", plural. The first i replaced in jan. Caused me not to be able to see out the front window from ice and fog. The second in mar. Disabled the a/c and heater usage completely. There is a problem with the actuators installed on this vehicle and they need to be replaced by the auto maker at their cost. In the chrysler recall, k17, it states that "if there are mode door actuators that need replacing, up to 4 additional hours may be required". The recall states plural actuator doors. I have submitted a claim to chrysler and they state that the actuators i replaced were not a part of the recall, even though there are four in this vehicle and three of the four have gone bad.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
