 Description of the problemUncontrolled "death wobble" when driving over 45 mph. This occurs when the front of the vehicle begins to oscillate violently, which causes the truck to shake (wobble) in an extremely uncontrollable manner. Since the death wobble usually occurs at high speeds, it is extremely dangerous and could potentially cause the vehicle to turn into adjacent vehicles causing fatalities. The only way to recover from a death wobble is to unexpectedly slow down, which is also dangerous to neighboring vehicles especially when traveling at high speeds. In my particular case, this occurred while traveling at 70mph on an interstate, at night, and during inclement weather. I was driving straight and after driving onto a road-bridge transition, the vehicle began to suddenly violently shake, and the steering wheel rocked back and forth. I was forced to slow down and all the vehicles around me had to turn into the median to avoid hitting my vehicle. I checked my vehicle for damaged tires or debris underneath and found no such debris or damage. The next day i drove to the dealership and the service department knew of tsb 18-2268. I should have been notified of this problem because it almost killed me and my children.

    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.
