WASHINGTON — Chrysler is recalling 32,865 of its 2008-'09 Dodge Ram 2500, and 3500 cab chassis pickups because of a steering problem that could result in a loss of steering control, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.The federal watchdog says that the affected Ram trucks are equipped with Powers and Sons steering linkages. 'The steering linkage drag link inner tie rod to Pitman arm ball stud may fracture,' NHTSA said in its recalls summary of the problem. 'Also, the steering linkage damper attaching the bracket may yield and shift on the linkage.'This could result in a loss of steering control and the restricted ability to turn the vehicle in one direction, increasing the risk of a crash without warning.'Dodge dealers will replace the steering linkage drag link inner tie rod end assembly and inspect the steering linkage damper bracket for free. The recall is expected to begin sometime this month.Owners of the affected trucks may call Chrysler at (800) 853-1403.Inside Line says: If you own one of the aforementioned Dodge Rams, have it checked out ASAP with your dealer. — Anita Lienert, Correspondent
