| Description of the problem | We were notified of a recall on our 2011 dodge ram pick up concerning the rear axle pinion nut. I called our dealership to schedule the repair. Safety recall n08 / nhtsa 13v/038. I was told that the parts and repair plan were not available at this time and was urged to call the chrysler group recall assistance center at 800-853-1403. I called the cgrac and was told that the parts and plan of service weren't available at this time but i would be notified by e-mail when it was. I made sure they understood that we are retired travelers who pull a 32' travel trailer frequently and that a sudden "lack of motive power" might put our lives in extreme danger. It was suggested that we "not tow or haul anything" until this is sorted out. *jb |
