Description of the problem | Tl * the contact owns a 2010 dodge ram 2500. The contact stated while attempting to park, he placed the vehicle in reverse, turned the steering wheel and heard a loud thump. After the loud sound, the steering had become difficult to maneauver. When he got out to look at the vehicle, he saw that the front driver side tire was turned right and the right front passenger side was straight. The contact had the vehicle towed to a dealer and they replaced the tie rod assembly. The dealer told the contact there is a nhtsa campaign id number: 10v657000 (steering: linkages: tie rod assembly) that was issued for the 4500 and 5500, but not this model. The contact is concerned about the safety of the vehicle, because the tie rod was replaced with the same type of tie rod assembly, and not a newly manufacturerd one.
