I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FOR MY TRUCK ON THE LEFT TIE ROD BALL STUD THAT COULD FRACTURE UNDER CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS. I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE THE END OF DECEMBER 2013. IT IS NOW APRIL 29TH 2014. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS FALLS UNDER THE REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME AS STATED ON THE RE-CALL LETTER TO HAVE THE REPAIRS COMPLETED BY THE DEALER. I HAVE TAKEN MY NOTICE AND REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOTIFY ME WHEN THEY GET THE PARTS. NO RESPONSE YET AND I HAVE CALLED THEM SEVERAL TIMES. I ALSO FILED A REPORT BY PHONE ON MARCH 6TH AND HAVE RECEIVED NOTHING FROM THEM BY MAIL AS THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO. *JS

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE STEERING SHAFT AND GEAR BOX. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CASTOR HAD FAILED WHICH CAUSED HIS TIRES TO WEAR PREMATURELY.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AND CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR MORE THAN 30 WEEKS BECAUSE OF A RESTRICTION ON AVAILABILITY OF PARTS. CALLED BACK TWO MONTHS LATER TO FIND OUT UPDATES IF ANY AND WAS TOLD THAT I MUST NOW BRING IN THE VEHICLE FOR AN INSPECTION TO FIND OUT IF MY TRUCK NEEDS A PART REPLACEMENT OR NOT. TOOK IN AND THEY SAID YES IT DID NEED IT BUT THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND WON'T BE FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. AM NOW WAITING FOR A CALL FROM THE DEALER AS TO PARTS AVAILABILITY AND SCHEDULING. I FIND IT RIDICULOUS THAT THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BEING IGNORED AND NOT FIXED IMMEDIATELY BY THE MANUFACTURER, I USE THIS TRUCK TO HAUL HEAVY LOADS LONG DISTANCES AND COUNT ON IT FOR MY INCOME. I AM UPSET THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THAT I COULD BE IN DANGER OF A SERIOUS CRASH IF THEY FAIL. *TR
