Abstract: In this paper, we formulate the Drinfeld module analogue of a question raised by Lang and studied by Katz on the existence of rational points on abelian varieties over number fields. Given a maximal ideal $fl$ of $F_q[T]$, the question essentially asks whether, up to isogeny, a Drinfeld module $phi$ over $F_q(T)$ contains a rational $fl$-torsion point if the reduction of $phi$ at almost all primes of $F_q[T]$ contains a rational $fl$-torsion point. Similar to the case of abelian varieties, we show that the answer is positive if the rank of the Drinfeld module is $2$, but negative if the rank is $3$. Moreover, for rank $3$ Drinfeld modules we classify those cases where the answer is positive.
