2013-14 Ram Recalls
FYI for the ones that don't know or received their recalls on some 2013-14 Rams. My 2014 Ram 3500 to date has had six recalls in 18 months of ownership. Most of them pretty serious safety issues. Prev...

Might as well be fair and honest about this, since I called Ford out about the crash safety equipment issue. I've got a '14 Ram 2500 I've been very pleased with, and said so regularly on here. But after seeing news about recalls yesterday, I pulled up my VIN. Turns out there are four total recalls on it, one of which I had done previously. So three new ones.
P26 - REPROGRAM ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM MODULE - Had this one done already.
And the three new ones:
R36 - THE STEERING WHEEL WIRE HARNESS MAY BECOME CHAFFED BY THE DRIVER AIRBAG MODULE RETAINER SPRING ENDS. - Got the notice in the mail today on this one, coincidentally.
R23 - OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL (ORC) MODULE SOFTWARE MAY CONTAIN SIDE IMPACT CALIBRATIONS THAT ARE OVERLY SENSITIVE. INADVERTENT SIDE AIRBAG INFLATABLE CURTAIN (SABIC), SEAT AIRBAG, AND/OR SEATBELT PRE-TENSIONER DEPLOYMENT DURING CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH AND/OR VEHICLE OCCUPANT INJURY.
R46 - SOME OF THE VEHICLES MAY HAVE A FRONT SUSPENSION TRACK BAR FRAME BRACKET THAT WAS IMPROPERLY WELDED DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS.
And to top it off, I threw a P0300 check engine light this weekend. A misfire code. Hoping it's just bad gas from the independent station I bought from, something I normally never do. I'll clear it, and see if it returns.
My former Dodge/Ram trucks have all been rock solid. No problems at all. But I confess, today I'm wondering what I've got with this one. I'm a little disappointed. We'll see how Ram handles it, I guess.
