## What is wrong

On certain 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks, the drag link inner tie rod attachment to the pitman arm ball stud may fracture.  A loss of steering control could result in a vehicle crash causing property damage, personal injury or death.  Also, in some cases, the steering damper attaching bracket may yield and shift on the linkage.  This may restrict the ability to turn the vehicle in one direction.  Correction: Dealers will replace the drag link inner tie rod assembly.  The steering damper will also be inspected and, if required, the damper bracket and bolts will be replaced.
