RAM 2500 Truck 2WD L6-5.9L DSL Turbo VIN 7 (2001)
Suspension Spring ( Coil / Leaf ): Recalls
Recall 01V008000: Spring Spacer and Spring Plate
Vehicle Description: Quad Cab pickup trucks equipped with a camper package and overload springs. The rear axle spacer plate could lead to
deformation of the upper spring plate during assembly of the axle to the vehicle resulting a soft joint.
The soft joint could cause the rear axle U-bolts to lose clamp load, resulting in displacement of the rear axle and a loss of vehicle control. This could
increase the risk of a crash.
Dealers will remove the spacer plates and the spring plates will be replaced. Owner notification began February 5, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles
to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact DaimlerChrysler at
1-800-853-1403. Also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).
