NHTSA recall 99V214000
Suspension · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)
Details
What's wrong: (2500 and 3500 series 4x4 regular cab pickup produced before March 21, 1995; 2500 and 3500 series 4x4 club cab pickup produced before June 8, 1995; and 3500 series 4x2/4x4 chassis cab trucks produced before June 21, 1995). The front suspension spring/shock towers can crack and eventually separate from the vehicle frame. The shock tower could damage the rear wheel brake lines resulting in loss of rear brake system…
Why it matters: This would create the potential for increased stopping distances.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the spring/shock tower and any vehicles exhibiting cracking will have the tower replaced. Vehicles that are do not show any cracking will have a weld-on reinforcement added.
