Official summary
Part Description: Axle assembly Issue Description: If replacing the rear axle assembly due to the R59 recall (DS axle Insufficient Axle Bearing Journal Hardness), please ensure that axle shafts are pitted and warrant axle assembly replacement per the recall service instructions. Mopar is committed to filling all orders within 48 hours.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
