My 2014 eco ram truck caught fire this week. Did not regenerate . Went from 80 to 100. Got several codes. 20 miles to limp mode. Is there a recall and what is best procedure to go through to get it fixed. Does my insurance cover fire.

You saying the truck caught on fire? what all burnt?
As for the DPF not going into a regen, that probably could have been caused by a CEL or malfunctioning sensor

You would have to call your insurance to ask about the vehicle fire. I know there were a few issues with the eco diesels burning down but it was very few of them. It sounds like you should have taken the truck off the road though if it was having an issue with the regen to get it checked out.
