The 2011 Dodge Ram has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a tie rod ball stud that can crack and fracture, causing sudden and complete loss of steering control. This recall affects Ram 4500 and 5500 models. On diesel-equipped trucks with a hydroboost brake system, a power steering reservoir cap can cause the brake pedal to return slowly after being released, which also delays the brake lights turning off and can confuse drivers following behind. A third recall covers certification and tire pressure labels printed with incorrect weight or seating capacity information, which could lead owners to load the vehicle beyond its actual limits.
