The rear wheel studs bust off when the wheels get mud in them. Once the first one goes the others go right away. This was on a highway, in motion driving straight. We also own a 2013 Ram 5500 VIN #[xxx] that we've had them break off of about 5 different times. I assumed a recall was in the works but I've seen nothing to date so I decided it was past time to act before someone gets killed. I personally know of others who have had the duals come completely off and into traffic. We have been lucky enough we have gotten the truck shut down prior to the wheels falling off.
