Transport Canada Recall - 2013196 - FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES
Brand(s)
Summary
Please see corrective actions section below
Affected products
2012 | RAM | 4500, 2012 | RAM | 5500
Issue
On certain four-wheel drive vehicles, due to insufficient welding of the front differential housing to the axle tubes, the housing may rotate relative to the axle tubes while the vehicle is operated in four wheel drive. This could allow the front driveshaft to bind up and fracture, causing a loss of motive power and damage to surrounding components if the driveshaft continues to spin. This could increase the risk of a crash causing personal injury and/or damage to property. Correction: dealers will repair or replace the front axle assembly on affected vehicles.
