Own a 2006 Dodge 1500?
September 9, 2006
This is our version of a “PSA”… if you own a 2006 Dodge 1500 pick-up, you need to know about this recall:
WASHINGTON — Chrysler said Wednesday it was recalling about 145,000 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 pickups to replace the passenger air bag pack and reprogram the air bag’s computer system.
The automaker said it would also replace the front passenger seat belt assembly in the same vehicles because it may not allow an owner to properly secure a limited number of child restraint systems. The assembly will be replaced in the recalled pickups.
Chrysler Group, a division of DaimlerChrysler AG, said the air bag system may not be compatible with some rear-facing child seat models if the passenger seat is adjusted all the way forward and an air bag deploys.
The automaker also said it was recalling about 35,000 Dodge Durango vehicles from 2001-2003 model years because of potential fires between the two front seats.

Speaking of recalls, add 35,000 Dodge Durangos from the 2001-’03 model years to your list – being recalled because of potential fires between the front seats. Dealers will clean and shield a wiring connector that could be shorted out by liquid spilled from the vehicle’s cupholder. See story here http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=116749

I own a Dodge Ram 1500 Lonestar Edition 2006 model year. Not quite 20,000kms on it and the front end was making a rattling noise. Took into to the dealer and it was discovered that all the tie rod ends were wore right out! Get yours checked today!
