I too, had the same issue Ram 2017, Cummins, 2500 Laramie Longhorn, 48K. Dealer did the recall, did not explain to me about any alignment issues, was just a recall for them, driving revenue. All the wild you couldn't align the truck properly. Unsure why and a engineer would instruct this as a recall issue. Dealer did indicate 850,000 drag link for the V06 not available. In the end, I ground out the weld, had alignment done properly, keep and eye on the nut becoming loose. Outstanding VOTE on confidence
I tried the get the dealer to replace the link, as this was one of the recall solutions. They welded anyway. I asked the dealer to cut the weld out, told me NO, who was going to pay for there time. I called FCA, they offered to pay to cut out the weld and repair not replace the drag link, only to weld again, didn't make any sense. I haven't been back to the dealer since, this was two plus years ago.
This was a terrible recall all around.....no proper solution for the consumer.
Stil a safety recall as far as I'm concerned. You don't weld a drag link nut in place. Tires will wear exceptionally fast on the inside wall. Now at $300 a tire for my vehicle, gain this just didn't make any sense. Wasn't repaired correctly by replacement, which is a permanent solution for all concerns.
