Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The truck with attached trailer was parked on an inclined driveway. The truck was placed in park and the key was removed from the ignition. I proceeded to load a compact tractor approximately 2500 lbs. The truck started to roll down the hill and crashed thru a fence doing extensive damage to the truck. I did not try to start the truck and waited for mechanic to assess any mechanical damage. The mechanic came to my place and when he got in the truck the transmission indicated that it was still in park. Dodge told me that there was no recall on this type vehicle with the transmission not holding. The representative told me that there had been similar problems with gas powered engines but not the diesel. I would like to know if this can be evaluated for recall. No one got hurt in this instance but caused extensive damage to the truck mechanically and cosmetically.

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.
