I am driving my sons 2003 Dodge Dakota while he is stationed in Korea. Is his truck
vin# 1d7hg48n13s128431
eligible for any of these recalls. This truck has problems with some of these recalls.
If so where would I take it and what would I need to take it there.

I live in Waterloo, Ontario Canada, I have an 03 dodge dakota, I really like my truck. However I had a the upper ball joint go on the driver's side. Luckily for me I noticed a clunking sound one day and was able to determine the problem. I purchased the truck new, so I'm sure they have my name on file. It would have been nice if they had of warned me once they knew this was a common problem.
