Description of the problem	I bought this 2004 dodge 3500 ram truck used in may 2011. I was driving my 2004 dodge 3500 ram truck in town when the left tie rod stud broke. I was stopped at a stop sign 1/2 block from my home and as i started out and turned right the tie rod stud broke. This occurred november 11, 2012. I had my vehicle towed to my home using my aaa wrecker service. There is no chrysler-dodge dealership in the town where i live, so i went to the local auto parts store to get the new left tie rod. The parts store did not have a tie rod for my vehicle and the counter person called the parts department at lithia chrysler dodge in billings, mt and ordered a new left tie rod, (mopar part no. 68038054ad). I received the left tie rod on november 12, 2012 for which i paid $131. 07 for which i have the receipt. I installed the new mopar tie rod and set the toe-in. I still have the broken left tie rod. On jan 15, 2014, i received the n62 recall notice for the left tie rod stud may fracture and the recall notice also stated my vehicle needed h46 done. I could find no history of the left tie rod being replaced, prior to the new one i put on myself, so i assume the tie rod was original from the factory. I did file a claim with chrysler (case #24530878), but they denied the claim because i could not prove the broken tie rod had been replaced with a mopar part. My concern is why the tie rod broke and if that means the factory tie rods are defective. I had recalls l16/h46/n62 completed on february 26, 2014. The dealership replaced all the steering linkage and the left tie rod assembly.

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.
