The steering gear mounting washers between the gear and frame were eliminated, and threads internal to the EPS mounts were repositioned which may cause the old bolt (or new bolts manufactured prior to 7/31/2021) to bottom out prior to achieving torque which can cause an NVH issue. For a new EPS gear (with mounting washers eliminated) please use 06510880AA bolts manufactured after 7/31/21). New bolts have a shorter shoulder length (approx 130mm) than bolts made prior to 7/31/21 (approx 140mm).","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10214523-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10214523-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10214523","components":[{"id":"structure-body","name":"Body and frame","parent":null},{"id":"steering","name":"Steering","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"RAM","model":"1500","year_from":2019,"year_to":2020,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2019_ram_1500","2020_ram_1500"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
