Rear Axle may Fail Due to Insufficient Oil Level

If the rear axle assembly fails, it can cause a loss of drive or the rear wheels may lock up. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash.

 

Summary

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2018-2019 RAM 1500 trucks. The rear differential may have been insufficiently filled, possibly resulting in its failure.

 

Remedy

Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the rear axle oil level. Rear axles with an insufficient amount of oil will be replaced, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin October 12, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler’s number for this recall is U88.

 

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Dealer Service Instructions for:

Safety Recall U88 / NHTSA 18V-556 Rear Axle Fluid Level

 

Remedy Available  

2018-2019 (DS) RAM 1500 Pickup

 

NOTE:  This recall applies only to the above vehicles built from April 23, 2018 through August 08, 2018 (MDH 042318 through 080809).

 

IMPORTANT:  Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory.  Federal law requires you to complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery.  Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for service.  Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.

 

Subject

The rear axle assembly on about 4,100 of the above vehicles may have an inadequate oil level which may cause the axle gears and bearings to generate excessive heat and wear, create a whine or growling noise, and the rear axle may fail prematurely.  A rear axle assembly that fails prematurely may result in a loss of motive power, and may cause the rear axle to seize.  Operating the truck with an inadequate rear axle oil level will result in rear axle gear noise (whine or growling) as a warning prior to rear axle failure. If this warning is not heeded, vehicle crash can occur.

 

Repair

Inspect all vehicles affected for rear axle oil level. The rear axle will be replaced on those vehicles found with no, or low, oil.

 

Alternate Transportation

Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner vehicle if inspection determines that a Rear Axle Assembly is required and the vehicle must be held overnight.

Service Procedure

A.  Inspect Axle Fluid Level

  1. Raise and support the vehicle on a hoist (preferred flat drive on hoist) the axle must remain at normal level for
  2. Inspect the rear axle fluid level for being within specifications.
  3. Clean the area around the fill plug and remove the oil fill plug (Figure 1).
  4. Take a piece of wire or (zip tie) and make a 90° bend two inches from the end of the wire. Make a line at 6 mm (.25 in or 1/4 in) from the 90° bend for a  lubricant level indicator line.

Figure 1 – Fill PlugFigure 1 – Fill Plug

 

  1. Insert the wire or (zip tie) perpendicular to the fill plug hole and use it like a dipstick. Measure fill level from the bottom of the fill hole.
  2. Remove the wire or (zip tie) and verify the fluid level is within the marked line from the 90° bend to the oil level.
  3. Is the rear axle fluid level within specifications?
