Ram keep sending me urgent recall notices, yet they don't have the parts.

That person is correct. There can be an issue with the grid heater bolt melting and dropping into #6.
In post 15 above, you made the statement “it only affected trucks with a bad grid relay that was fixed for free under a TSB”, and that is what I’m saying is incorrect because the grid heater relay has nothing to do with why the grid heater bolt can melt and drop.

That was what was passed on to me by independent repair shop...

Ive tried to get my dipstick recall done as well. No dealership in my area has the supplies. Ive driven it about 10k mi since that recall came out. Ill try again in a couple months. If they aint worried about it, I aint either as its well documented that Ive tried to get it fixed multiple times.

I get those notices too but the dealers here dont have the parts. I wont worry about the grid heater till fall and my trans has never got over 173* even towing in 100* heat at 70 so not too worried about the fluid boiling out. will just wait till I get an actual call from my dealer that they can do the recalls.

Regardless of parts availability the recall notifications have to go out to the consumer.

What is fake chrome?

We call it "plasteel" plastic with chrome decal.

Actually, the bolt holding the relay can also fail which can end up seriously damaging the 6th cylinder.

As of today my dealer tells me the grid relay's are in stock ready to go, I will get mine done once FCA fixes another dealers screwed up from a dealer in Omak WA, who by inputting one wrong number of the VIN wound up with my VIN being used for another truck when replacing the grid relay under the recall, this has delayed my grid relay from getting replaced until this whole mess is straightened out lucky for me my local dealer provided the info I needed to prove to Ram Cares & an FCA case manager that the other dealer screwed up, I hope they have this fixed real soon...

I believe that headquarters has a Printer send out what ever notices have to be sent out.

Mean while some one else at headquarters, sends a Fax to which ever company designs & builds the Part in question.
They send the part(s) out to the FCA Warehouses

Then it is up to someone to tell the Dealership Parts Department, that the needed parts are in the company Warehouse.

Eventually, the Parts Dept. should inform the Service Dept. Advisers, that the parts are in stock.

On a couple occasions, i walk into the Parts Dept. & ask them directly if they have the part(s)

I trust my SA, she went to part dept. came back & showed me the relay so that was good enough for me...

LOL I was just thinking the 5th gens are slowly morphing into honda ridgelines, by gen 6 they're going to blend into a parking lot seamlessly

Twice I’ve dropped my truck off for a recall and twice they’ve sent it home without doing it.

I get robocalls and emails. By why the hell would a service advisor make two (!) separate appointments for a recall part when they know they done have it?

I’ve bought multiple vehicles from this dealer and I think they will be my last.

Sounds like someone is not doing there job if they are making appointment and don't have the parts, do you have another dealer close by you can go too? BTW I have never had a robocall nor an email about any open recall on my 2022...

Wow. You must not be registered in their systems correctly. I've gotten all the recall letters for my 22 2500.

I have had snail mail about recalls and I know I'm in there system, being I was given an FCA case manager due to another dealer using my VIN for a recall on another truck with the same color & configuration as mine, the only difference between the 2 trucks is the last digit of the VIN is different....

I mis-read your reply. I've only gotten snail mail notices too. The only other place I see them is the Ram owners portal.

Thanks to help from Ram Cares over at CF, I will be getting my recalled grid heater relay replaced on Monday morning

 

[06 Dodge]

Well FCA case manager came through and today I had the 13A grid relay installed along with the Y43 DPF sensor installed... Anyone who has a dealer who claims they can't get a new grid relay, I think they be full of this Mopar store has 72 units in stock: https://store.mopar.com/oem-parts/mopar-relay-cstp13a1aa the Mopar part number is 68606435AB

I am happy to report that I got the email today in Ontario that my Z46 HPFP is available. Called the dealership and they ordered the pump and will call me when it is in.
