Recall is for the left tie rod ball stud on your truck may fracture under certain driving condition. I took my truck in 45 days ago. Parts are so limited that the dealer is saying it could be 6 months or more before the parts come in to fix what appears could be a serious issue. I have not actually had an incident. *tr
