I believe at least 1 recall does not require parts,,, Just a flash.

I'm bringing my 14 in next week. Not really worried about getting the recalls done, but might as well while I'm there I guess.

I have a bit of water/condensation in one headlight, and a 'clank' that seems to be coming from the rear suspension area.

The best way to describe the 'clank' is it sounds just like a ball mount rattling in the hitch receiver,,, Trouble is, my receiver is empty! LOL!!

I've fiddle farted around trying to find the 'clank',,, removed the spare, removed the tailgate, went over everything in the general area with a rubber mallet,,, no luck yet,,,

I'm very seldom OCD about anything,,, but squeaks and rattles kinda get under my skin,,,

They would like to have the truck a couple days,,, Doesn't matter to me much as we are working on getting me some transpo while the RAM is in the shop.

You guys get letters for the recalls? These letters actually exist?
I have had five recalls and or campaigns done to my truck in a little over a year and never received any notification from the clowns at Fiat what gives?
The only way I find out is here, on the owner connect website or when I bring the truck in because something else broke, or it needs service?

Are they not legally required to mail me notification???? But then again since when do they follow the law, look at how well they are adhering to the buyback agreement?

My buyback comment was a joke. I know something like this wouldn't warrant a buyback. Just called in today about it, they took my info and said they'd call me back. It's been 6 hrs... I posted this to see how many members here got the same thing. Seems like quit a few did.

Are you the original owner? Next time at the dealer, make sure the current owner info is correct in Chryslers system.

At least you got a letter. Found out about air bag recall on Dodge Mopar app. Called recall hotline twice. Still waiting for letter. Called dealer for oil change appointment and they know nothing about this recall. WTF? This is a safety recall from NHTSA. Not a voluntary Dodge recall.

I thought rear air bag and steering column recall were just for 2013 and 2014 model years??

Got mine today - I'm the second owner so my info is up to date.
My letter statesImageUploadedByTapatalk1444409669.189188.jpg 2012-14.
Are you confusing the steering column wires chaffing that could deploy air bag- with the side curtain air bags that deploy with to much force ?

Just wait...

More will be coming....
Random airbag explosions, loss of steering control, oh yea, it's not just a driving experience is an adventure.
Add to this I am hung up with the VW diesel mess too.
Does anyone make a quality vehicle anymore?

With the demand for "fresh" vehicles (at least in the U.S.) manufactures are rushing design and builds. Same for the popular cycles. It's become a 1-2 year ownership not 5-10. Maybe it's the leasing of new vehicles that helps spurs it.
I think some of the people are blowing these recalls up too.
Look at Toyotas past recalls that some people took advantage of and faked issues to the extent of hurting them selfs or others.
I can think of Jeep's having a few too. This isn't like GM's hiding a defective part with I believe 100's of deaths. I'm hopefully that these recalls will prevent injuries and death. But I think some of use hold companies to a higher standard than we should. Look at all the pickups abused (just look at will my 1500 tow it[emoji48]) and then owner wanting repairs done as warranty work.

Made the appointment yesterday for the recall. Dropped off truck at 0800 this morning and picked it up after work. There were 32 vehicles in front of me all for recall work. Surprised they got to it actually.

Man I feel bad for all you guys that dealers are giving you the run around. I went into my dealer unannounced with all 4 recall notices and they had me in and out within a few hours!
