NHTSA Complaint #11440760 — 2014 RAM 2500

A Recall on the Drag Link Bar was for a bolt coming loose. The recall was to weld the bolt, so Drag Link Bar could not be adjusted or bolt come loose. I am the original owner and in order to do an updated alignment, I now need to buy a new adjustable drag link bar, because the original one can not be adjusted due to the recall fix was to weld a nut, so it cold not back off. So a $80 alignment charge, is now going to cost me $1000 because I have to buy a new Drag Link Bar. I have contacted RAM, they said the will not do anything, they fulfilled the Recall. Why would the NHTSA allow a fix to be a welded nut on a steering arm that might need to be adjusted for alignment? So it would of been better for me to not do the recall and wait for it to fail and then get a new drag link bar. My Drag Link bar does not need to be replaced due to age of vehicle or wear and tear. The Drag Link bar needs to be replaced because the part can not be adjusted, like all other steering parts.
