Bucky I hope you don't go to work for another dealer then. They all have recall parts that are on back order. GM more so then FCA and Ford. I did say this " Getting parts seems to be the biggest issue with this engine. Only one plant is making it right now and parts are hard to come by. " What do you do for the dealership? Not supply chain management I'm guessing ;)
Now a days all manufactures share parts from the same vendors. So when******happens the vendor not only still has to supply the assembly plants but now they have to make parts for the recall, not an easy task.
The only issue I have had with my truck was the U-connect froze up. When I stopped for coffee I turned the truck off and when I restarted it a few minutes later it was fine and has never done it again. I do have to take it in for the ECM DEF re-flash one of these days. Not a big deal for me but I'm sure some other people would make a big deal about it.

BTW, it is the fault of the vendor they are in this situation. Assuming they provided defective parts and Fiat did not spec an improper part. But this is the case with any manufacturer/OEM.
I'm waiting on a fix for my fuel filter housing recall on my 13 Ram Cummins.
