Description of the problem | My 1998 dodge durango vin [xxx], now needs a third ball joint replacement. Why was not the 1998 model year recalled for this problem like the 2000-2003 model years? Certainly three failures of this component in 72,000 miles is a safety defect and should be included in a recall. Please review 1998 model years for inclusion in the recall.*ak updated 07/24/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6) |
