V06 Recall

[AH64ID]

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. 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. 

 

68338342AB or 68338342AD

 

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

Thanks, 

 

I wont let them do the weld fix either.  

 

 

I put this info into an article.

It's installed and ready for a test drive... just waiting on a part to finish my Titan tank install. 

 

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

 

All in all it's a good looking piece. 

 

Reimbursement form has been submitted to FCA and I'll update with their answer. If they deny it then I'm still happier spending $137 than a ridiculous weld fix.
