Consumer Description

WHILE PULLING MY RV TRAILER, I NOTICED A GROWLING NOISE AND VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK. THE CLOSER I GOT TO HOME THE NOISE GOT LOUDER. TOOK TO MY MECHANIC AND HE HAD TO REPLACE LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARING HUB, STEERING KNUCKLE AND ALIGNMENT. IT FIXED THE PROBLEMS. ONLY 45594 MILES. COST $800.00. IS THIS A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE? CAN I BE REIMBURSED FOR MY COST OF REPAIRS FROM CHRYSLER?
