Steering wheel harness. anyone familiar with it? said some 12-14 models may have chaffing in the wire and could cause the airbag to deploy.

I promise you, go to local Ram dealer and the saleman will "buy back" your truck bear in mind the old saying " the house always wins".

Got mine Thursday last week. Called a dealer and they don't have the parts for a couple of weeks, so nothing I can do now. I'm just gonna sit tight because if I was at the dealer, looking at the newer trucks (mine is 2012) I might walk out with a newer model...hahaha

I cant buy a cold right now I'm so broke

Wished they would buy mine back.

Padilen · Oct 6, 2015

This isn't one involved in buy back. It's only a cap to keep wires from chaffing.

Hemi395 · Oct 6, 2015

Got mine the end of last week. My dealer is out of the part also.

It is simply installation of some little rubber caps to cover the ends of the airbag mounting clips and a zip tie to tie the harness back.

I got this recall and the one about the over sensitive side curtain airbags sensors this past week. I was planning on calling the dealer tomorrow to see when to take the truck in.

MyOhFive · Oct 7, 2015

I had the side curtain reprogram done and then a week later got the steering wheel chaffing one, called to book another appt and was told they won't have parts till FEBRUARY!

Normally I wouldn't care, but I can actually hear *something* chaffing in my column when I turn the wheel... is it the same issue? Dunno.. will the airbag blow up in my face? Dunno...

ExpressRules · Oct 7, 2015

I called to make an appointment yesterday for the side curtain and steering column recalls. Service department is backed up because of recalls so cant get me in until November 9th for both. The side curtain is just a reprogram of the computer and as was already said, steering column is just the installation of two caps. Each is listed as a 30 minute install.

Anyone that wants a buyback because of such simple procedures for what is basically preventative maintenance issues must have ulterior motives, like buyers remorse because they didn't do due diligence before deciding to buy a Ram.

i have the same letter, dealer is currently waiting parts.... from readuing on here it sounds like you could fix it using some heat shrink tube on the metal tabs.

Jerry1984 · Oct 7, 2015

Same boat for me. The dealer is waiting for parts.

You might be able to, but it doesn't remove the vin from the recall nor would it appease the safety experts.
Which is odd because I had a part sent to me for my 95. It was a piece of plastic and zip ties that went around the steering shaft to - prevent chaffing!

I might just do that....

Wow, you guys have ****** dealerships. My truck was in getting a new motor. I stopped by told them I got R23, and R36. they did it that day, just so happened to be the same day they were finishing up the truck..

I would go to another dealership if I was getting a delay like that. It's a govt mandated recall for safety, they cant make you wait months to get it fixed. If they are that backed up they should give you a rental. I'm pretty sure there is some kind of law around this.

I went in for oil & filter and they did the recall while I waited. Funny thing was when I called for an appointment they told me they had no parts.

Got a recall letter today...
