Safety Recall N62/NHTSA 13V0528 (Dodge RAM 2003 to 08)

Pretty strange, all these recalls show up many, many years late. Kinda scary all these Dodge trucks running around unsafe all these years. Takes a certain number of 'documented cause' incidents to recall it, in the meantime, all you Dodge guys are driving around endangering your kids in some cases, and don't even know it.

And, that's not a Dodge phenomenon alone, happens with GM, Ford, Toyota etc.

I believe this is the same recall listed about a million times on this board about a month ago :W Yep got mine in the mail last week and will take it in oh about April or so since I don't drive it much in the winter months any longer.

Here's a cut n' paste of the recall notice from the NHSTA website. The notification date from Chrysler to NHSTA was November 8, 2013.
