| Description of the problem | The problem is... The rear axle pinion bearing on your truck (vin: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) may not receive adequate lubrication under certain driving conditions. This lack of lubrication condition could cause the pinion bearing to seize and cause a loss of vehicle control and/or a crash without warning. Dodge only allows the dealer to do 2 of these recalls a month. So my dodge truck can not be fixed for over 3 months. I am at risk of my truck seizing up and loosing control. Dodge needs to allow the dealers to do more then 2 a month. Or except all liability for any damage or injuries. |
