This is for TREE DR

I think this is what he is talking about.
This is off of www.safercar.gov website. Don't know the about the accuracy thou.


Make: DODGE Model: RAM 2500
Model Year: 2008
Manufacturer: CHRYSLER LLC Mfr's Report Date: DEC 04, 2008
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 08V641000 N/A
NHTSA Action Number: N/A
Component: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINEIESEL
Potential Number of Units Affected: 108429
Summary:
CHRYSLER IS RECALLING 108,429 MY 2007-2008 DODGE RAM 2500 AND 3500 PICKUP TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH 6.7L DIESEL ENGINES. A SILENCER PAD CAN SAG AND CONTACT THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) COOLER.

COOL!!


As I noted before: No Recall # at the lowly dealer level yet that I see.... but it looks like it's coming.

From what I was told a long time ago: Recalls are released to the public first, then the customers are notified by mail and about that same time the dealers get the notice and parts IF required......so basically 9 times out of 10 a customer will come in and inquire about a recall (that they most likely saw/heard about from a news organization) and we get to give them that deer in the headlights look unless we happen to see the same thing they did.

My dealer knows about it but they don't have the parts or the paperwork to complete the recall yet. They said the december date is when DM said they would start the recall process and not actually doing the recalls. My dealer said sometime in the next three months I should get my card in mail.

I think a better fix for this recall would be to remove the EGR Cooler and all its plumbing to be on the safe side.
