Chrysler Recalls Trucks and SUVs


Chrysler has issued a recall for its Dodge Ram 4500 and 5500 trucks from years 2008-2011 as well as their Dodge Ram 1500 trucks model year 2011.  In addition, the automaker is recalling more than 65,000 of their 2009 Dodge Journey vehicles.

The vehicles have various problems including steering issues, faulty rear axles and electrical trouble with side airbags, which may result in serious injury or death.  Steering defects can cause drivers to lose control of their vehicles and crash without warning.  Axle problems may result in wheels locking up causing a loss of vehicle mobility and stability.  Malfunctioning airbags can deploy unexpectedly without any crash, or not deploy at all after collision.  

More than 144,000 automobiles are included in the recall.  Owners affected by the recall can call their dealer to schedule an appointment to have the vehicle parts with the problem replaced at no charge.
