I have a 2009 1500 Sport Ram and my buddies also have them. I work with them and they said they already got their notice in the mail and had the recall done on the ball joints ..

when i go to the dodge website and punch in my vin, a funny whit box pops up and says there are no past recalls in history ... or somethin ..

where can i go to check to see if i have a recall on my balljoints other than calling the service department monday morning ?

the dealership i bought the truck at was forced to close after the consolidation ... i think im not getting recall notices like i should be ..

thanks

 

mine is a 2009 also , dealer check mine and no recal ????

 

They have been sending out the notices in batches for about 6 months - and its not actually a recall - it was worded something like owner satisfaction notification. They were initially only being sent to cold weather states.

 

For the 2009 models,when i checked mine it said for up to the month of march builds that were affected....My truck was built in march,so my tie-rod ends were replaced...

 

If your truck falls under ANY recall guidelines, you`ll definatly be notified by dodge.
It would be wise to go to a dealer you do business with and make sure your mailing address is correct.
You can even call dodge/customer service to check for the proper info and ask them about any recall pertaining to your truck.
You can also ask them to check your mailing address that they have on file for you.

 

Yeah I got mine done a few months ago. I live in Alaska, so the cold weather thing could be true. I'm not sure it was for all 2009's though. Might have only been for a certain batch. I don't remember.

 

When my notice came in the mail, it said "notification of recall"
Its no dought a recall in my opinion

 

If it wasn't at first, it's definitely a recall now. That's what my dealership told me anyway. I actually took it in for something else and they did it before I got the notification.

 

This is what the original notice said - wasn't a full blown recall back then.

Maybe someone can explain this to me but the OP was regarding a ball joint recall. I already had the tie rod recall done. Are these 2 different recalls or no? I thought ball joints were different from tie rods. I don't know a lot about suspension components so I might need a lesson.
