The easy way to find out is call your local dealer and give them your info on vehicle. Those that needed it done like mine, also watch out for the lowers. The uppers are the reason of the recall, but if they have already damaged the lowers too, IT'S NOT part of the recall and you'll be paying out of your own pocket for the lowers to be replaced. You can also check this link for any type of recalls not just vehicles: Govt Recalls I believe there was three different recalls on Durangos and Dakota's, depending on type of set up you have. _____________________________ There's no such word as can't.

If the tire falls off and I get killed,what should I do then? No! Really~is it a dealer repair or just a warranty? Fix it or take my chances with a V8 loaded over the front wheels~need a reply?.... you bet! (in reply to DeadlyDakota) Post #: 34

Currently I'm having the whole front-end replaced due to a stiff steering wheel that they just havn't been able to fix. I'm fairly positive this would effect the 04's, if not now than in the future, since there are a growing number of complaints with those as well. I know I've got a huge complaint, since I've been to the shop 9 different times, which adds up to over 100 hours (all covered by warranty thankfully), and it's not even been 2 years since I started my lease (November 04). Thank god my wheels didn't go flying off, or my truck would have gone flying back through the nice front window of the dealership. They better do something about this before a large number of the thousands of owners endup dead and their financial bankroll gets hit WORSE than a simple recall. < Message edited by Viper01 -- 5/30/2006 11:49:33 PM > (in reply to DeadlyDakota) Post #: 35

Type in the last 8 of the VIN and it will tell you if any unperformed recalls are on your vehicle. Or, of course, you can always call your local dealer with your VIN, and they can look it up for you, too. _____________________________ Current ride: Belleville 220 DES ST - leather, reinforced front end, tan color.

RE: Recall Coming for 2000-2003 Dakotas: - 11/9/2006 11:52:01 PM    Sneakers   Posts: 2 Joined: 10/8/2006 Status: offline I purchased a 2001 Dakota new. Now with 55,000 miles the front end likes to follow ruts in the road and the front end pops when stopping and then backing up. Also when making a sharp turn and entering a driveway it also pops. Took it to two different dealers same response. Nothing wrong. I also received the 100k mileage letter and that really makes me feel good inside. Last P.O.S. Dodge I'll ever own. If Honda made one similar in size I'd be over there in a heartbeat. I guess American made doesn't mean very much nowadays. My last truck was a 1981 Chevy pickup 1/2 ton, six cylinder and when I donated it with 125k miles it ran better and didn't have half the problems of the Dakota. Dodge really leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth. Oh well lesson learned. Buy once, screwed once. (in reply to dodgerules86) Post #: 39

They'll tell you if your vin qualifies, and set up an appointment. They'll probably charge you for an allignment, so don't think the "entire" job will be free. I had mine done about 2 years ago, and still haven't gotten the letter in the mail. ---Harrison (in reply to Smyrldog4x4) Post #: 41

So they replaced them and then a few weeks later we recieved a recall on the truck. (in reply to redriderbob) Post #: 43

Is there a limit to the mileage to get the recall done? I can't belive this but I think mine are original, and I have 159000 on it. I went to the link and it showed no recalls performed. I don't have it on the road yet, I need the title but thats another issue, and can tell that they are shot. (in reply to Kotara2069) Post #: 45
