Recall 24V-653 ABS Software ESC Disable

[Arsinek]

"Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue."

So I signed paperwork for a 2021 RAM 1500 last week. They told me they couldn't let me take it home until they perform the recall repair, which I was OK with because the truck was exactly what I was looking for.

But I'm starting to think this recall repair might not happen for months. Anyone have any guesses on when the repairs might start happening?

Also, I'm attaching the recall bulletin for anyone interested.

UPDATE: I called RAM to get some info about the recall. They said the software update is already available for newer trucks but not older ones. The truck I am trying to buy is a 2021, which the software update is not available for yet. I don't remember the exact year ranges for which have the update available and which do not. They also did not have a time estimate of when the update would be available for "older" trucks. They basically just said soon.

It's a software update. After I turned the truck over to the service manager I had it back in 30 minutes.

So far, theyve told me they "dont have the parts" to do the recall. I want to get a hold of the service manager.

No parts involved just software update. So somebody spreading a brown substance. I guess they could not have the software update but the dealerships get it from FCA downloaded to their dealership. All IMHO

Its a software update, says so on the last page under 'Remedy'. I had it done and it was a software update, took about 40 minutes. Just search on this topic, there is a thread on it in this forum.

NE issues or other gremlins pop up after update?
