Consumer Description

SUBJECT:RECALL ON DODGE RAM 2500 COMMENTS: IN 1999 YOU HAD A RECALL ON ALL DODGE RAM 3500 PICKUPS, 1994-1997 FOR THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH, LIGHTS MAY GO OUT, RECALL # 819. MY 1996 DODGE RAM 2500 HAS THE EXACT SAME SWITCH AND MY HEADLIGHTS DID GO OUT AND I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. WHY WAS THIS PICKUP BY-PASSED ON THIS RECALL.
