Has your Dodge been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. Recall repairs are free.

Steering › Column

Summary: The steering columns on the involved vehicles may have been misassembled, resulting in the master serration for steering wheel indexing being mislocated by 180 degrees. The tie rod may have been adjusted in attempting to overcome this condition and this may have caused insufficient tie rod thread engagement to the sleeve attachment.
Remedy: Dealer will replace the lower steering shaft assembly with a correctly indexed assembly which will locate the steering wheel in the correct position. Tie rod assembly will also be inspected and adjusted to ensure proper thread engagement.
