Well i just have a question. I was wondering if they have any recalls for the 2003 dodge 3500 SRW 4x4. i can't find any and was just wondering if anyone ha had any done?? thanks for the help.

 

The only recall I know of is C02, to fix the cruise control hang with the manual transmission.

There was one for the early stock aluminum wheels.
One for loose cooling fan hub bolts.
One for replacing a auto tranny oil line between the tranny and in block oil cooler.
The last one of course is the "Is it in Park?" fix for auto trannys.

 

I've gotten three minor ones for my truck (sig.):

-Tranny cooler line bracket
-PCM module connector
-"Back-up alarm" (Not gonna happen)

Go here for a complete list:

Cracking, stamped steel, alternator bracket. Replaced with cast iron unit.

Door window seals. Mine had rubber ones that dirt would collect on & scratch the window tint. Replaced with trim that has a fuzzy texture up against the inside of the windows.

Recalls and TSB's(alt bracket,weatherstrips etc)are NOT the same thing(Recall,back up alarm)

 

Good point, but usually lumped into same category when checking out if a particular year of truck had a lot of problems.

Somebody probably has better definitions, but IMHO: TSBs are for exceptions/problems not found in the regular maintenance manuals. Service Campaigns are things replaced under warrranty to keep the customer happy (the tranny cooler line and PCM connector in my previous post were actually service campaigns). Recalls are safety issues that the NTSB usually gets involved with (like the "back-up alarm"). In that case, my truck only has one actual recall, but three things it needs/ed to back to the dealer for.

 

Correct.Thank you.

 

cool thanks guys. i went to the dealer the other day and they told me that the only recll was for the auto "is it in park." thanks again and i will look at the alldata site. thanks

 

Houndog,

Technically, the information I provided about the two problem areas I'm familiar with were not "Recalls".

However, if I were the one that started this thread, I would want to know about ALL problems associated with that particular model year.
