AS A STATE TROOPER, I HAVE HAD A RANCHER EXPLAIN TO ME THAT THREE OF HIS 2002 DODGE 4X4 TRUCKS HAVE HAD THE TRANSFER CASE AND DRIVE AXLE "EXPLODE". ONE INCIDENT SENT A PART THROUGH THE FLOORBOARD OF THE TRUCK INTO THE CAB. COULD THESE INCIDENTS BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE JUNE 13, 2002 RECALL ON BRAKES? THE CONVERSATION CAME UP WHEN I TOLD THE RANCHER OF MY NEWLY PURCHASED DODGE PICK-UP TRUCK. THANK YOU.*AK
