Took the truck to the ram dealership to get the recall for the rear wheel studs replaced they did the job a few days later the wheel almost came off on the freeway. The mechanic didn’t tighten the lug nuts we caught it just in time before something bad happened. That was 12/11/2023. We took it back to the dealership and they supposedly fixed it.exactly a month later and only 1500 miles on the freeway the wheels came off on the same side the studs were replaced. Tires flew off at 65mph and it hit 2 semi trucks luckily no small cars. Or it would have been tragic
