This letter states something about 09-12 rams with a certain vin numbers is on some sort of recall for its axles leak or something like that. Was wondering if anyone received or heard anything about this if they would please share the info. Thanks!

Mine failed, the rear end locked up. However, luckily I got off the freeway right before it did kama so I was only doing 35-45 miles an hour when my rear and locked up. My drive shaft snapped off where it attaches to the rear diff, and I had to get towed to the dealership. Worst part is, they wouldn't even put the bill for rental or give me a loner. They did end up replacing my entire drive shaft kama along with the gears and internals of the diff.

If it's going to fail, you'll start hearing a weird vibration noise when you let off the gas. Only during deceleration. I was on my way to the dealership to drop it off for this noise when the lockup happened.


So if they don't have a part to fix it what's going to happen?

Doesn't show up for mine. Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean its not affected, probably just means they haven't found out yet, lol.

Lol. Classic Chrysler...So if there is a recall, do they fix the new/used ones on the lot or what? I don't wanna buy my 4th gen in a year or so and not have this recall issue resolved.

I thought this recall was done a year ago.. I just bought my 09 and noticed on my carfax they updated it saying a recall about the pinion nut. Didn't get a notice yet but I am going to stop by tomorrow and see if they have the parts.

Just got the letter from my lady this morning. The rear axle pinion nut safety recall exists in some 2009 ram 1500's equipped with 9.25" rear.

Problem is.......
Your truck may have been built without an adhesive patch on the pinion nut threads. The lack of this could allow the rear axle pinion nut to loosen and/or the rear axle to seize and separate driveshaft could cause a loss of motive power.

What Chrysler is doing......
Chrysler intends to repair your truck free of charge (parts and labor). The parts required to provide a permanent remedy for this condition are currently not available. Chrysler will contact you again by mail, with a follow-up recall notice, when the parts are available.

Once oh receive this notice just contact your dealer to schedule a appointment and ask them to hold the parts for your truck or order them before your appointment.

For some reason my trucks vin is listed in this notice but my truck is a 2011. So... I guess I'll wait till I get this 2nd notice cause I currently are not having any issues that I can hear of or feel of.

Just want to share this info and give any heads up I can give.

I think the one I found was issued in mid December 2012
