Chrysler, which is controlled by Fiat SpA, is recalling 44,300 Dodge Dakota and Dodge Ram 1500 pickups from model years 2009 and 2010 as a rear-axle nut may loosen due to lack of adhesive, according to documents filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Should the nut loosen, the axle could lock up and cause loss of control or a crash with little warning, the documents said. NHTSA opened a preliminary investigation into the issue in July, according to the documents. There have been 17 field reports alleging axle failure due to pinion nut loosening, the documents said. The recall is expected to begin in November. Chrysler will notify owners and supply a nut retainer at no cost. MORE RECALL INFO: NEWS: Chrysler solves Dodge Ram 1500 issue, Contol Arm Bushings AUGUST 2012 -- Bad control arm bushings shuttered production in Warren A batch of bad control arm bushings forced Chrysler Group LLC to suspend production of its Ram 1500 pickup at its Warren Truck Assembly Plant last week, but the company says the problem has been resolved. "We had an issue with an external supplier," said Chrysler spokeswoman , though she declined to identify the supplier. Workers said the problem was with the upper control arm bushing used on four-wheel-drive models. They said it was discovered by drivers at the plant. A faulty control arm can affect the wheel alignment of a vehicle. One worker told The Detroit News that as many as 3,000 pickups were sitting on company lots and would have to be repaired. That worker said they had been told they might have to work Labor Day weekend. Chrysler spokeswoman wouldn't say how many trucks need to be repaired and said no decision had yet been made about the holiday. "We can confirm that we were able to contain all affected vehicles before they left (the) plantand are working to verify the quality of each vehicle beforeit isshipped," Chrysler spokeswoman said. Work on the 2012 Ram 1500 was supposed to end this month. Chrysler spokeswoman said she had no reason to believe the problem with the bushings would delay the changeover to the revamped 2013 model. But workers at the plant say that they are putting in 10-hour shifts to keep up with existing orders. MORE RECALL INFO: NEWS: NHTSA investigates Jeep Grand Cherokees, Dodge Ram 1500s AUGUST 2012 -- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening investigations into more than 335,000 Chrysler vehicles, including reports of fires in Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs. In documents posted Monday on its website, the agency said it has launched preliminary probes into 106,803 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokees because leaking power steering fluid hoses may have caused fires, and 230,000 2009-10 Dodge Ram 1500 pickups because of a failure in the differential that can cause the rear wheels to lock up. NHTSA said it has reports of two fires in Jeep Grand Cherokees since May, and a third report of leaking power steering fluid that led to loss of power steering. A Jeep Grand Cherokee with 35 miles on the odometer was consumed by a blaze June 13. "While driving approximately 50 mph, the (owner) glanced into the rearview mirror and noticed smoke outside of the vehicle. Immediately the vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road," NHTSA's summary of the incident said. After the driver exited, "massive flames erupted from under the hood." The fires may be the result of faulty power steering hoses that allow fluid to leak onto hot engine components, NHTSA said. In one fire, an owner said he saw fluid leaking in his driveway before the Jeep caught fire. The safety agency has made vehicle fires a top priority. Last week, Ford Motor Co. took the unusual step of urging the owners of 4,800 2013 new Escape SUVs to immediately stop driving because of the risk of fires stemming from fuel leaks. According to the National Fire Protection Association, U.S. fire departments responded to an average of 287,000 vehicle fires annually from 2003-2007. These fires caused about 480 civilian deaths, 1,525 injuries and $1.3 billion in direct property damage annually. The Jeep Grand Cherokee had its best June sales month in the U.S. last month since 2005. Sales were up 38 percent in the first half of 2012 to 75,117. It's Chrysler's second-best selling vehicle in the U.S., behind the Ram pickup. Ram sales are up 24 percent in the first half of the year to 138,581. Separately, NHTSA said it is opening a second investigation into the 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup after it received 12 complaints of rear wheels that locked up because of a failure of the differential. Eight drivers said they were traveling at 35 mph or greater. Four complaints involving higher speed incidents say the failure resulted in a loss of control — spinning or skidding — and one truck hit a concrete barrier. NHTSA typically takes six months to a year before deciding whether to upgrade a preliminary investigation into an engineering analysis — a necessary step before it can ask an automaker to recall vehicles it deems unsafe. Not all investigations end in recalls; automakers often recall vehicles before an investigation is completed if they discover a problem. Chrysler spokesman ..said the Auburn Hills automaker is working with the government. "Chrysler Group takes seriously every customer complaint and is cooperating fully with NHTSA," Chrysler spokesman said. MORE RECALL INFO: NEWS: Report: The 7 Most Dangerous Cars on American Roads JULY 2012 -- Two crossovers, two SUVs, two pickups and the Jeep Wrangler are among the vehicles deemed the most dangerous in America by the business blog 24/7 Wall Street. The website analyzed safety data compiled by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Consumer Reports, the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration and J.D. Power. "The cars with the worst scores most commonly received poor grades in the rollover and rear-impact tests," writes .. 24/7 Wall Street. Those include the Ram 1500, Mazda CX-7 and CX-9, Chevrolet Colorado Crew Cab, Suzuki SX4, Nissan Pathfinder and Jeep Wrangler. Each of these vehicles received poor or marginal ratings by the IIHS in two of the four categories it uses for crash-test evaluation. The four categories are: a head-on crash traveling at 40 mph; a side-impact crash with a 3,300-pound object hitting the vehicle at 31 mph; a rollover test in which a metal plate strikes the corner of the vehicle until it rolls over; and a rear-impact test, which gauges seat and seat belt protection against whiplash. Additionally, five of the seven most dangerous vehicles were low scorers in the J.D. Power overall Initial Quality Study, scoring three or fewer points out of five. The IIHS's side-impact test results for the Colorado Crew Cab were particularly grim; the vehicle has received a poor rating in this category each year since 2004. The Jeep Wrangler, too, ranked poor for side impact from 2007 to 2012 and ranked marginal, the second-lowest rating, from 1997 to 2006. As 24/7 Wall Street notes, poor safety ratings don't necessarily translate to poor sales. All seven of the most treacherous models experienced increased sales in the past year. Writes Wall Street Journal, "In all but one case ... sales grew at least 19% last year." MORE RECALL INFO:
