A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups.

- Published by: Transport Canada \(Canada\)
- Campaign number: 2009019
- Manufacturer's number: H46
- Reported: 2009\-01\-21
- Component: Steering
- Notification type: Superseded
- Units potentially affected: 4500

## What is wrong

Defective aftermarket steering drag links many have been sold as service replacement parts for 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks.  The drag link assemblies in question may fracture, which could result in a loss of vehicle control and a 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.  Chrysler will notify owners \(other than those covered by recall 09\-010 \(H36\)\) of all 2003\-2008 Dodge Ram heavy duty trucks since those vehicles could potentially have had the affected linkages installed during service.  Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer for inspection and repair if required.
