I RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR A SAFETY RECALL N49/NHTSA 13V-529 BACK IN DECEMBER I BELIEVE FOR A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE TIE ROD BALL STUD. THE RECALL STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME AND TO CHECK WITH MY DEALERSHIP. I WENT IN THE DEALERSHIP TWO WEEKS AGO AND THEY CHECKED OUT MY TRUCK AND STATED THAT MY VEHICLE QUALIFIED FOR THE RECALL BUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO PUT ME ON A WAITING LIST AS DODGE WOULD NOT LET THEM STOCK THE PARTS. THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PARTS FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL VEHICLE AND THEN IT WAS A TWO PART PROCESS. I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE OF RECALL TODAY 6/30/14. I BELIEVE THAT IF THEY ARE GOING TO ISSUE A RECALL THEN THE PARTS NEED TO BE AVAILABLE OR READILY AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED SPECIFICALLY TO TOW OUR LARGE 5TH WHEEL CAMPER AND NOW WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF CAMPING SEASON WONDERING IF WE ARE GOING TO CRASH EVERY TIME WE GO OUT WITH THE TRUCK AND TRAILER. *TR
