 Description of the problem traveling at approx 40 down a straight street in town , apparently according to witnesses the truck sharply changed lanes into on coming traffic , side swiping one car went thru two residential fences and ended up stopping in shop/garage turned 90 degrees to the road we where traveling on . I was sited for neg 2 driving , because i couldn't recall what had happened . The truck was totaled . On the report we got from the ins. Co there was some info and to my disbelief was a paragraph about 2010 dodge rams 3500 being recalled for left tie rod failure . My wife luckily had taken lots of pictures of the scene of the accident , after some investigating on our part ( went and looked at the truck ) the left side tie rod was broken , we took pictures of the tie rod , and by looking at the tie rod there was no damage to it that would have caused it to fail , the pictures my wife took at the scene clearly show something dragging in the dirt on the driver side . My wife and i are currently seeing a local bone crusher ( chiropractor ) its his belief that the truck swerved hard enough that my head hit something knocking me unconscious , he said that would explain the tilted atlas that i am continuing fighting to this day , the chiropractor told me that when they take a head on head xray you should not be able to see your atlas on mine you can see over half of it , worst he's ever seen . We had been having front end problem and brought it to the local dealership . We also have docs from the dealership that would be of more evidence on the tie rod , they released the truck to us the day before the accident saying there was some problems with the tie rod and would be very unsafe to drive at this time , but no one said anything to us about how unsafe it was and not to drive it .

  • 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.
