  • V06 recall No Weld Fix trackbar replacement

       (1 review)

    Me78569

    If you have a 13-18 2500 or 14-18 2500 you are probably aware of this recall for the steering linkage. 

     

    The standard fix is to weld the adjustment nuts, something I won't let them do on my truck.   Example is in this image.

    I have been trying to get FCA to just replace the drag link with the updated one... to no avail. 

     

    I recently learned the part number and have ordered the part and will submit for reimbursement. It's cheap too, $132 to my door.

    To install simply loosen the 2 nuts in red and remove the old trackbar then install the new trackbar.  Get your truck aligned and you are good to go.

    It's installed and ready for a test drive... 

     

    Removal at the spindle was easy, but removal at the pitman arm was a PITA.

    So if any one else is in the same boat this is a better alternative to welding.

    Dealer Service Instructions for: Safety Recall V06 / NHTSA 19V-021 Drag Link NOTE: Only 2017 and 2018 MY vehicle remedies are available at this time. Part requests for 2013 through 2016 MY vehicles will be rejected until further notice. 2017-2018 (DJ) RAM 2500 Pickup 2017-2018 (D2) RAM 3500 Pickup 2017-2018 (DD) RAM 3500 Cab Chassis 2017-2018 (DF) RAM 3500 10K LB.

Cab Chassis NOTE: Some VINs in vehicles above may have been identified as not involved in this recall and therefore have been excluded from this recall. Remedy Available Remedy NOT Available Safety Recall V06 – Drag Link Page 2 The drag link on about 795,000 of the above vehicles may have been built with an outboard steering linkage jam nut that could loosen allowing one end of the drag link to separate from the adjuster sleeve. A drag link separation can result in a loss of directional steering control, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. Inspect the torque values. If the torque values meet requirement, the nuts will be welded to the adjuster sleeve. If the torque values do not meet requirement, the threads will be measured. If thread engagement is acceptable, the link will be reassembled, the vehicle will be aligned, and the nuts will be welded to the adjuster sleeve. If the thread engagement is not adequate, the drag link assembly will be replaced. Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner vehicle if inspection determines that a drag link assembly is required and the vehicle must be held overnight. IMPORTANT: Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process. Subject Repair Alternate Transportation Safety Recall V06 – Drag Link Page 3 No parts will be distributed initially. If a replacement drag link is needed, after performing Sections A and B, please contact the STAR Center for additional directions. Part numbers listed below are for reference only. Very few vehicles are expected to require drag link replacement. Part Number Description CSZHV061AA Assembly, Drag Link 06505623AA Hex Lock Nut, Tie Rod (2 required) 68317791AA Paint, Black (MS-PF-1-25) (Each container of paint will repair approximately25 vehicles) NOTE: If any part of this procedure cannot be performed during disassembly or assembly, a STAR Case must be submitted. NOTE: A STAR Case must be submitted, then contact the STAR Center to request parts. Please provide the VIN, Model Year, Mileage, PN, Dealer Code and measurements from Steps 4 and 5 in section B. If approved, STAR will place the order for the Drag Link part. The Drag Link part will be shipped from your facing PDC. Once STAR has confirmed parts can be ordered, Dealers must place order for the Hex Lock Nut and black paint, as necessary. Hex Lock Nut will be shipped from your parts distribution center and the black paint will be shipped SSD. Parts Information Safety Recall V06 – Drag Link Page 4 Do not scrap the part, if the Drag Link Assembly is replaced, the Star Center will initiate the process for returning to the Quality Engineering Center for review. All returned parts and associated claims will be reviewed and are subject to charge back. The following special tools are required to perform this repair:  NPN Lincoln Powerwave 350 - Flux Cored Arc Weld (MIG) or equivalent  C-3894-A Puller, Tie Rod  2069400190 Crowsfoot Wrench, 41mm (SCOM41) Parts Return Special Tools Safety Recall V06 – Drag Link Page 5 A. Inspect Drag Link Assembly 1. Inspect the drag link assembly for drag link to turnbuckle separation.  If no evidence of separation is observed, continue to Step 2.  If the vehicle was towed in and separation has occurred or any evidence of separation is observed, continue to section D. Replace Drag Link Assembly. 2. Using a .020” feeler gauge, confirm jam nut contact to drag link turnbuckle. If no contact is noted, proceed to section B. Measure Drag Link Assembly Threads (Figure 1). 3. Using a paint pen or equivalent, mark both jam nuts and turnbuckle with lines (Figure 1). 4. Hold the drag link turnbuckle with back-up wrench (Figure 2). 5. Using a 41 mm crowsfoot, such as Special Tool 2069400190 (Snap-on SCOM41) or equivalent, set a torque wrench to 20 N·m (15 ft. lbs.) (Figure 2). Service Procedure Figure 1 – Mark Jam Nuts and Turnbuckle DRAG LINK TURNBUCKLE JAM NUTS MEASURE HERE TO CONFIRM JAM NUT TO TURNBUCKLE CONTACT Safety Recall V06 – Drag Link Page 6 NOTE: If using a digital torque wrench during the inspection, observe the torque wrench digital reading to determine if minimum torque of 20 N·m (15 ft. lbs.) is achieved. NOTE: Some jam nut movement may occur when tightening from 20 N·m (15 ft. lbs.) to 148 N·m (109 ft. lbs.). DO NOT replace the drag link if initial 20 N·m (15 ft. lbs.) is achieved. 6. Rotate each jam nut in direction as shown (tightening direction) until wrench clicks or 20 N·m (15 ft. lbs.) is achieved (Figure 2).  If paint lines do not show nut rotation, continue to section C. Weld Turnbuckle Jam Nuts.  If either paint line shows nut rotation, continue to section B. Measure Drag Link Assembly Threads.

Using Vernier Calipers, measure and record the inside diameter of the turnbuckle (end with notch marks on hex) (Figure 5). NOTE: Measure the inside diameter at two different locations (90° from each other). Use the largest measurement. Service Procedure [Continued] Figure 5 – Measure Inside Diameter of Turnbuckle at Notched End NOTCH MARKS ON TURNBUCKLE MEASURE INSIDE DIAMETER VERNIER CALIPERS IN TWO PLACES Safety Recall V06 – Drag Link Page 9 5. Using Vernier Calipers, measure and record the major outside diameter of the outer drag link threads 5mm (0.20 in. - approx 3 threads) from paint mark denoting end of turnbuckle (Figure 6). Be sure to measure using the flats on the calipers, do not measure inside the thread pitch (Figure 6). NOTE: Measure the outside diameter at two different locations (90° from each other). Use the smallest measurement. Record smallest outer thread diameter (Step 5): Record largest inner thread diameter (Step 4): Subtract (smallest outer – largest inner):  If the result of the subtraction is 0.6 mm (0.024 in) or less, continue to section D. Replace Drag Link Assembly.  If the result of the subtraction is greater than 0.6 mm (0.024 in), assemble the turnbuckle and continue to section C. Weld Turnbuckle Jam Nuts.

    I bought my 2013 with 118k miles & all welded up.  I took it to the dealer for a all wheel alignment, when I got the written report back from the tech it stated, alignment within spec's, but would have adjusted it further had it not been welded.  My complaint was the front tires cupping, "Viola" Ram responded by paying to replace the drag link.   Pretty certain I am going to go with Thuren track bar & front coils (Thuren's Overland leveling system)
