The recall covers the Arrow XT, Dash, Enforcer, Lance and Quantum models from the 2006 and 2007 model years.
Boots that cover the ball joints can rip and cause the joints to fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
The recall comes after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began investigating the trucks in March.
The agency received a complaint in January from a fire department that a driver had trouble steering a truck and never felt in control.
Mechanics found problems in the ball joints, which connect wheels to the steering system.
Dealers will inspect trucks for torn boots and replace worn ball joints starting Nov. 30.
