A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

## NHTSA's summary

Rear Axle Assembly If replacing Limited Spin Differential \(LSD\)/Anti\-Spin Differential rear axles for any reason, the Mopar replacement axle will need the oil drained and re\-filled with oil PN: 68083381AA \(which contains updated friction modifier\). This change was recently introduced in production to help address axle noise concerns being reported from the field while the vehicle is performing tight turning maneuvers. Failure to do so may result in a customer returning with noise complaints. NOTE: If the Mopar replacement axle serial number is past the following dates below for the corresponding axle part numbers, DO NOT DRAIN AND REFILL. The replacement axle will already have new fluid: Axle Part\#: 53010668XX ? Serial \# T03UG0047EXXXX Axle Part\#: 53010669XX ? Serial \# T03UG0047GXXXX Axle Part\#: 68269917XX ? Serial \# T03UG0037JXXXX Axle Part\#: 05038703XX ? Serial \# T03UG0047HXXXX Otherwise, perform the following repair procedure in the order given: 1. Follow standard rear axle installation procedure.

Front Click Noise at Low Speed Turns This bulletin involves installing a friction disc kit on both front hub bearing surfaces between the hub and rotor. The customer may comment on the following:When making a sharp turn at low speed \(parking lot\) maneuvers, a click noise is heard. Most of the time the noise can be heard if the windows are open.

Hub \& Bearing Assy \- Front For LA, LD SRT vehicles with the 2\-piece front brake rotor \(BR7 sales code\), do NOT replace the front Hub \& Bearing Assy for a clicking noise occurring while turning during low speed parking lot maneuvers.
