Statement – Front Axle Assembly

June 11, 2013 , Auburn Hills, Mich. -  Chrysler Group will recall approximately 6,900 heavy-duty trucks in the U.S. and Canada to prevent front axle damage.

Following reports that two trucks had sustained such damage, Chrysler Group engineers launched an investigation and discovered some trucks were subject to a condition that may cause the front prop shaft to bind or fracture, resulting in power loss.

Chrysler Group is unaware of any related accidents or injuries.

Dealers will replace or repair the front axles at no cost to customers, who will be notified directly.

The recall affects approximately 5,600 model-year 2012 Ram 4500 and 5500 trucks in the U.S., and an additional 1,300 in Canada.

Customers with questions or concerns can call 1-800-853-1403.
