| Description of the problem | I receive an important safety recall # n62 / nhtsa 13v-528 from chrysler corp. For the dodge truck listed above. This recall was sent to me last november of 2013. I had the vehicle inspected by tuttle dodge in tustin, ca. This is the dealer where i bought the truck in 2055. They confirmed that this vehicle need the safety repair and said that chrysler would inform mw when the parts arrive at their dealership so they can make the safety repairs. I have check with tuttle dodge every month since and was told that no parts were available. This repair is to the left tie rod, and if it breaks the driver would have no steering. This would result in 10,000 pound truck running completely out of control with understandable disastrous results. I want some help getting this vehicle repaired to a safe condition. Please let me know what you can do. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
