2 Front Suspension Upper Arm problem

Failure Date: 11/11/2003

Ball joints on 1999 Dodge Dakota. I have already replaced one and need to replace the other. My model year is not being recalled despite the fact that the exact same manufacturer of the ball joint and the same design was used on it, as it is on the 2000-2004 that is included in the recall. In addition, you have recommended only recalling the 4x4 models, but 4x2 models also suffer from this problem. Who paid you guys to not include our model year. You are a disgrace. I am outraged.
