NHTSA Complaint #10716095 — 2013 RAM 2500

RECALL: P65/NHTSA 14V-635 : DIESEL FUEL HEATER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR: RECEIVED FIRST RECALL IN DECEMBER, 2014. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER (HADDAD DODGE, BAKERSFIELD, CA) AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND WOULD CALL WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. AS OF 5-12-15, NO CALL AND NO REPAIR. RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE IN MAIL 5-10-15 FOR SAME SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS LISTED AS AN "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL". IF THIS IS SO IMPORTANT, THEN WHY HAS 5 MONTHS GONE BY WITH NO PARTS AND NOW A SECOND NOTICE SENT. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT DODGE CORPORATE/DEALERS SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR GETTING THE PARTS AND MAKING THE REPAIR. I CONSIDER 5+ MONTHS AS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. OTHERWISE, TAKE THE RED LABEL OFF THE FRONT OF THE NOTICE AND REMOVE THE WORD "IMPORTANT" FROM THE LABEL.
