2005 Dodge Dakota Pickup Truck Steering Wheel Defect
NHTSA Investigation Defective Steering Wheels with Missing Steering Column Bolt


(March 2006) NHTSA upgraded its defect investigation of Dodge Dakota pickup truck steering wheels and steering column in the 2004 Dodge Durango, 2005 Dodge Durango & 2006 Dodge Durango sport-utility vehicles and the 2005 Dodge Dakota pickup trucks and 2006 Dodge Dakota pickup truck models.

The NHTSA is examining reports that a 2005 Dodge Dakota pickup truck steering column bolt was missing or could come loose, causing the steering wheel to separate from the column on the Dodge Dakota pickup truck SUV. Note: NHTSA has not issued a formal recall of the 2005 Dodge Dakota pickup truck due to steering wheel defects or steering column failures.
