What’s wrong with it?
A drag link separation can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of crash.
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain MOPAR steering 4x4 drag link assemblies (part number 68369907AA), and the associated components, jam nuts (part numbers 06510749AA and 06510750AA), drag link inner (part number 68111304AA), drag link outer (68111301AA), and drag link adjuster (part number 68111302AA) sold for replacement use on Heavy Duty Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks.
The outboard steering linkage jam nut may loosen, allowing one end of the drag link to separate.
The drag link assemblies may have been installed as part of a vehicle repair; the drag link assemblies installed during vehicle manufacturing were subject to NHTSA Safety Recall 19V-021.
