Chrysler will be recalling certain 2012 RAM 4500 and 2012 Ram 5500 trucks manufactured between February 2, 2012 through to the end of the 2012 model year.
According to the recall report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), certain vehicles may have a front axle carrier (differential housing) that can rotate relative to the axle tube. The front prop shaft could become bound up and fracture at the universal joint, resulting in a loss of power and damage to surrounding components if the prop shaft continues to spin.
Chrysler plans to begin notifying owners about the problem starting in July. For more information about the recall, contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753.
