[Rzrman328]

I think there is already another one started lol

I lost count!

If someone comes along this late in the game and starts another one they should be punched in the throat!

I actually just got off the phone w/ Chrysler... they said there isn't anything finalized yet. Dealers will continue to say they have no info until final word is released. May take another 2-3wks. Then letters will be going out to owners listed currently with VIN #... which im glad I called & checked because mine was still under first owner!

Did they say anything about if it matters if ur the second or first owner. I bought mine used almost 2yrs ago

I wouldn't think it would matter. Good question though, as I'm the second owner of mine..

 

[Cruizer]

I couldn't see how it could matter. It's not like you didn't pay for the truck either way, and it needs fixed. Never heard of it mattering on a recall.

Just had my new-to-me 2012 2500 crew cab 4x4 CNG delivered last week. Haven't even driven it yet since I'm outta town. I chatted with Chrysler and looked up the vin, looks like I'm in the clear. I'll be keeping those chat logs.

Just got offline with customer chat. No recalls on my truck. 2012 Ram Big Horn 4wd Quad Cab. Feeling relieved.

Owners of vehicles who have questions about the recalls can call the company at 1-800-853-1403.

A list of the 23 Fiat Chrysler recalls that NHTSA investigated can be found here: NHTSA Recalls Spotlight - Chrysler Recalls

Owners of any vehicle can look to see what, if any, recalls apply to their vehicle by entering their vehicle identification number at this NHTSA Web site: https://vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin/

I Called the 1-800 number and spoke with a recall rep. She ran my VIN and told me that my truck was not one of the ones on the recall list for the buy back. I have a 2012 1500 outdoorsman

Even if you have no recalls pending you could still be eligible. My VIN does not come up for anything on the NHTSA website for any recalls even though I had one done. It does come up for the pinion nut on the dodge website and the Ram rep said I was eligible for the buy back program.

So are you going to have them buy it back? Hows this process work?

 

[DiabeticKripple]

i wonder if people that bought jeeps with trailer hitches in them can get their money back for the hitch

Im second owner as well... she said it didn't matter...its "current owner of that vin #"
Recall for my truck is that pinion nut too which qualifies for buy back, but if its fixable, I rather do that personally. Ive put too much time & $$ into, to have to start over...blah!

 

[RR7_905RAM]

The recall will always follow the VIN not the owner. You could be the 10th owner, if there's a recall there's still going to be a recall.

Just curious as to who you guys contacted to find out if you're affected or not? I opened up a chat on the Ram website and talked to a rep about whether or not my truck was involved and got nowhere. She said they had no information at this time and if I was involved, they would send me an email/letter.

Yes I am. I figure after this news the value of my truck will be torpedoed for two reasons. 1) The market will be flooded with these things. 2) The news is national so it will be hard to get much more when I go to trade it in later.

I just opened a chat on the website and they cross referenced my VIN to tell me it was involved. Maybe I just got a more competent person. They did say that they don't have a process in place yet for a buy back but took my number and said they would be contacting me when all that got figured out.

Yeah that could be it. It was kind of weird, when I asked her about the recall, she asked for all my information (name, address, phone number and VIN) she told me to hold on for a few minutes.... then came back and said she didn't have any info at this time...wtf

I just had a chat with someone at dodge. They said the recall is for the pinion nut. I had mine fixed already. He said I'll still be getting a letter in the mail.
