NHTSA Complaint #10789012 — 2007 DODGE RAM 3500

I RECEIVED RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE FOR AIR BAG AND STEERING LINKAGE REPLACEMENT. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER TO SET UP THE APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL FIXES. I WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE BOTH PARTS SO THE APPOINTMENT WAS SET FOR ABOUT 4-5 WEEKS LATER. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THE AIR BAG RECALL WAS FIXED BUT THEY REFUSED TO FIX THE RECALL ON THE STEERING LINKAGE. THEY STATED MY TRUCK HAD THE "OLD DODGE PART" SO THAT WAS NOT COVERED. THIS PART IF FAILS WILL CAUSE ME TO HAVE NO STEERING CONTROL. I HAD A CHRYSLER CERTIFIED MECHANIC LOOK AT THE STEERING PART ON MY TRUCK AND HE STATED IT WAS SO BAD HE WOULD BE SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. SO EVEN THOUGH THE STEERING PART IS BAD TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS DODGE IS CLAIMING THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. WHY WOULD I RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE?
