Consumer Description
I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE #V06/NHTSA19V-021 IN THE MAIL, SO I WENT OUT TO INSPECT THE DRAG LINK ON MY 2016 RAM 3500 AND NOTICED THAT THE LOWER JAM NUT HAD BACKED OFF THE THREADS ABOUT A 1/4" IN. CONTACTED THE DEALER TO SEE WHEN THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD TO CALL BACK IN A FEW WEEKS. AND I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE ADVISER TO SEE WHAT THE FIX WAS GOING TO BE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD TIGHTEN THE JAM NUT AND WELD NUT TO THE SLEEVE. I HAVE BEEN A WELDER FOR OVER 30 YEARS AT THE PSNS IN BREMERTON, WA.. IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE MATERIAL TYPE AND WELD FILLER MATERIAL TYPE IT COULD CAUSE A FAILURE OF THE WELD AND THE MATERIAL THAT IT IS WELDED TO. ALSO, ANYTIME YOU WELD SOMETHING THE HEAT AFFECTED ZONE IS A WEAK SPOT. I DON'T THINK THIS CORRECT FIX DUE TO IT BEING A STEERING COMPONENT. *DT*JB
