2018 Ram bighorn 2500 6.4 HCU and ABS

[Williams RAm]

So i just recently purchased 2018 Ram 2500 Bighorn 6.4 hemi it has 40000 miles on it and the service anti lock brakes and traction control go on and off which if i am in cruise control it will shut that down to.Took it to Chrysler/Dodge and they diagnosed it as the HCU was bad in it so i ordered one from them.I also told them to go ahead and replace the ABS control module because you have to take the fender liner off to get to both of them.so after the dealership ****** me around and cancelled my appt.less than 24hrs after waiting 3 wks for the appt.So i am going to replace them both myself i can not find anywhere that after i complete the project is there a special bleeding of the brakes than the normal procedure.Someone told me you have to have a scanner to actuate the HCU unit while bleeding them.Any help is appreciated.Thank you

I got the recall letter today too. If you already did the work, there is a way to get reimbursed. Go to www.fcarecallreimbursement.com to file a claim.

I also received the recall notice including the URL above for reimbursement. I had mine fixed in May 2023 under my lifetime MaxCare contract, of course I had to pay the $100 deductible. I submitted my paperwork at the URL above to be reimbursed my deductible cost, and received this email response from [email protected]

"Thank you for reaching out to RAM Customer Care.
We are currently unable to process your reimbursement request for Recall C4B based on the latest guidance from our Corporate Resources. We recommend contacting our Customer Assistance Hotline at 1-800-992-1997 once updates regarding the Recall C4B reimbursement process become available. This will allow us to open a new case and promptly review your request at that time."

So they are telling people to submit the documentation for reimbursement, and they deny it anyway.

@RamCares Why are they sending recall & reimbursement notices out, then denying the request?

Also to note, today I also received a mail notice of a class action settlement for the ABS/HCU issue- Wilson et all. v. FCA US LLC. YOu can also receive additional settlement benefits from that. You can go to-
