EGR Recall

We purchased a used 2008 Winnebago View 3.0 L 6 cyl. turbo diesel with 6,000 miles. I read there was a recall on the EGR. We previously did a car fax report on this RV and it said there are no pending recalls. How can I find out if this issue was corrected on our vehicle or not by the previous owner??

    If the service was performed by a Dodge dealer, you should be able to have any Dodge dealer pull up the maintenance records of the vehicle by VIN number. Those records will show which recalls and other maintenance were performed on your vehicle.

    Regarding the EGR recall - for the 6 cyl, it was actually a reprogramming of the ECM to prevent repeated EGR valve failures.
