Issue ID	973867
Internal NHTSA #	10507268
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	RAM
Model	3500
Model Year	2011
File date	26/08/12
Component	STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The left tie rod on the front drivers side broke. This was after the part had been recalled in march of 2012 which was taken in and serviced the same month per the notice. I was returning my fifth wheel to storage when the tie rod snapped. Backing in slowly no more than 5 mph. Needless to say i refuse to tow my 5th wheel anymore with the ram 3500 as had it broke while on highway at a high rate of speed could have resulted in injuries and potential fatalities. I am trying to confirm if dodge has addressed this issue for 2013 as there are many others on forums that have had the same tie rod failures.
