2009-2010 factory recalls
So on Sunday I was driving my truck when i heard aloud clunk of metal from my truck! I can put my truck in gear and nothing happens the drive shaft just spins... ( there is no visible damage to the driveshaft or rear end) I can place my truck in park but its as if its in neutral so i have to leave the emergency brake engaged... Insurance towed my truck to fowler dodge and they have yet to inspect my truck but they did let me know of a recall for the pinion gear... I am worried because i found out from the dealership today that My truck sold new with a limited lifetime warranty on the drive train but was only available to the first purchaser. long story short I purchased the truck preowned under the understanding that the truck would be under 5yr/100,000 mile warranty but now I have a truck with less than 50,000 miles and no warranty! I have done some research to the recall and everyone complains of their rear-end locking up but mine does nothing??
I am hoping its not the transmission can someone please share some incite?? |
If it's a recall, warranty is irrelevant. They have to fix all recall items regardless of warranty or not. So, if it is a broken rearend due to the pinion nut recall, you should be fine. If it's something else, then that could get ugly.
Do you have any of your paper work that shows you have a 5yr/100k mile warranty or was it all verbal? |
If the driveshaft spins but the truck has no power to the ground, there is a good chance nothing is wrong with the transmission. Knowing that there is a recall on the pinion nut hopefully that's what it is because recalls fall on the manufacturer's expense. If that's what it is, the only thing that should cost you is maybe the tow.

Thanks guys!! |
If I understood the recall correctly, which might be a long shot, the only reason the rear ends locked up on those other trucks is they were up to speed and something failed. It might be that they didn't stay locked up but we only hear about that part because it's the sensational "My truck's rearend locked up while I was on the highway!"
