Description of the problem	I got wind of the recall around dec 2013 & figured it didn't apply to my truck since i had spent close to $2000 rebuilding the front suspension with oem & after market parts. I finally received recall notice n62 at the end of jan 2014. I took my truck to my dealership & they confirmed my truck was indeed included in the recall since the parts i used were defective & being recalled. The service writer told me it would be at least another year or longer before the parts needed to repair my truck would arrive at the dealership. I asked what would happen if the tie rod ball stud failed at hwy speeds(i already knew the answer) & was told it wouldn't be pretty. If the part did fail i would lose all steering ability & more then likely end up in a vehicle accident. My truck weighs in at 8600 lbs + or -,unloaded, what ever i run into/hit if the tie rod ball stud failed would certainly cause injuries or death. What are we supposed to do? Park our trucks until dodge/chrysler ships the parts in another year or so? Most folks who own hd pickups use them to make a living & can't afford to have their truck parked for a couple days much less a year. Would be nice if owners of the trucks affected would be reimbursed by dodge/chrysler if we purchased aftermarket parts making our trucks safe to drive, rather then waiting to who knows when. I know that won't happen,

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.
