To all RAM Truck drivers out there. I read this today on a business website:
DETROIT - Fiat Chrysler is recalling over 660,000 heavy-duty trucks worldwide because a loose nut can cause a loss of steering control.
The recall covers Ram 3500 pickups from 2013 through 2017, as well as 2500 pickups and 3500 Chassis cabs from 2014 through 2017.
The company says it's aware of eight crashes and one injury that could be related.
Fiat Chrysler doesn't have a date yet for owners to be notified. Dealers will inspect a steering linkage nut. If it's properly tightened, it will be welded to a sleeve to keep it in place. If it's loose, a steering assembly will be replaced.
Stay safe!

Simply look at the two nuts, are they tight? If not tighten them. Nothing to worry about, simply wait for your recall.
Notice my blue factory marks do not align, that's because I have had an alignment and the steering wheel was centered with the device shown.

Hmmm... I thought most crashes were caused by loose nuts in the driver's seat...
