Interesting? Back in February 2020 there was a similar recall for certain 2019 Ram 2500 and 3500 Trucks. "The engine control software on about 91,000 of the above vehicles must be updated with an upgraded calibration as required by the US Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board for better emission performance. NOTE: Some vehicles within the above build period may have been identified as not involved in this recall and therefore have been excluded from this recall. Perhaps with this new 67A emissions recall being at the time of the announcement of Cummins 1.6 billion penalty is why EVERYONE is up in arms about it. Nonetheless, I will not be getting done.
But here is a section of the NYT article on this timeline of emissions recalls.
The review came after questions from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board about the new diesel engine that powered the 2019 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. This 6.7-liter turbo diesel made up to 1,000 pounds-feet of torque and up to 400 horsepower.
Next steps are unclear on the model year 2020 through 2023 trucks, said the NYT.
Be worth hearing form 2019 truck owners that had the software emissions upgrade recall done in 2020 what they experienced with post truck performances.

Concluding a Four-Year Emissions Saga
The story goes back to 2019, when Cummins announced it had begun a formal review of its emissions certification and compliance process relating to diesel engines it supplied for Ram pickups.The review came after questions from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board about the new diesel engine that powered the 2019 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks.

What's Next for Owners of Affected Trucks?
Stellantis has already recalled the model year 2019 trucks and has initiated a recall of the model year 2013 to 2018 trucks, according to the New York Times. The software in those trucks will be recalibrated so they are fully compliant with federal emissions law.Next steps are unclear on the model year 2020 through 2023 trucks, said the NYT.
