They did that to my 18 2500 before it was sold new to me. I would jump up and down and make them put a new one on it. When you go to get an alignment you'll pay out of pocket for a new one. Pay out out of pocket for what? Not understanding

Pay out out of pocket for what? Not understanding You'll pay out of pocket for arm that runs from the box to the tie rod. It will be welded and no shop is going to try and do an alignment with it welded. It's the adjusting sleeve that straightens the steering wheel after the toe is set.

Have to bring the truck back for center link bolt loose Recall. "THE FIX IS WELD THE NUT" What is this all about? Half ass fix, probably a dealers way of doing it cheaply then billing dodge for the correct fix. I would contact Dodge directly and get the correct scoop.

The dealers charge Dodge to do the recall so its a win/win for the dealers. More money in their pockets. Dodge Corporation losses with every recall.

The manufacturer specifies the remedy and the NHTSA approves it. You don't want to get caught halfassing a safety recall. The liabilities could be tremendous.

There’s some pretty shady dealers out there. Last recall for suspension was on my 07. I asked one dealer what it entailed. Basicly needed the truck up on a lift to inspect the part. I ended up going to another dealer for convenience and all that happened is the service writer looked under the front of the truck and said I was good. I called Dodge and complained, they ended up sending me to the dealer I initially contacted. Turns out the tie rod was bad and they replaced it. When I complained Dodge told me they were investigating the other dealer. That dealer sold out two years later.
