Dodge Recall 07V-038: Suspension – wheel bearing

Affected: 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. Filed with NHTSA on February 12, 2007, covering about 86,333 vehicles.

The problem

On certain pickup trucks, the front wheel bearing May have received an insufficient quantity of grease during the manufacturing process.

The risk

This could result in bearing degradation, and if subsequent noise and vibration are ignored, could result in hub assembly separation. This May result in a loss of vehicle control and cause a crash without warning.

The fix

Dealers will replace the front hub and bearing units. The recall began on February 26, 2007. Owners May contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
