09 F150 and Ram Recalls and Funny Pictures

Just in case you missed it last week, there were a couple of “little” recalls on the 2009 Ford F150 and the 2009 Dodge Ram. Nothing big mind you, just a couple of small items that won’t be a big deal (unless of course they become a big deal).

First, the Ram. According to TruckBlog.com:

Chrysler has issued a recall of nearly 40,000 2009 Dodge Ram light duty pickup trucks equipped with the manual temperature control where the software programmed for the heating ventilation and air condition module may cause the defrosting and defogging functions to become non-functional. The result of this can lead to a decrease in visibility and raise the chance of crashing.

No big deal really…unless your defroster doesn’t work and you can see out of the winsheild. At least you can stick your head out the window.

2009 Dodge Ram owners might have to stick their heads out of their trucks.

Next up, Ford’s minor recall for the 2009 F150. According to Edmunds.com:

Ford is recalling 8,735 of its 2009 F-150 trucks because a faulty brake stop lamp switch may cause the brake lights to fail to illuminate

No big deal – unless someone is counting on seeing your brake lights to keep from running into you (you know, like while driving).

Every manufacturer has recalls (and both of these are relatively minor), and we’re certainly not trying to make light of the safety risks these recalls present, but the next time a Ford or Dodge owner razzes you about your Tundra, you know what to hit them back with. Now for a couple of funny pictures:
