[SSteilow]

I see where Dodge is recalling RAM trucks.

I have heard about the front end problem,but it seems like Dodge was ignoring it,till now.

There's a second recall for some 2014 Rams due to electrical problems:

Manufacturer: Chrysler Group LLC

SUMMARY:

Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 2014 RAM 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks manufactured July 1, 2013, through August 22, 2013. Randomly, the warning lights in the instrument cluster may fail to illuminate as designed.

CONSEQUENCE:

Inoperative warning lights may not properly warn the driver of vehicle problems, increasing the risk of a crash.

REMEDY:

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the instrument cluster software, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in late November 2013. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N59.

NOTES:

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

This is not new has been an on going issue. If the tierod ends are not lined up it can put extream pressure on the ball joint stud. It's a simple check and fix.
