It is basically in their own interest to check if you need any updates, RRT's, or recalls while you are there since they get paid to perform these. It's not the dealer warrantying the vehicle it's Chrysler and well those little 3 seconds flashes pays half hour each most often. So if your dealer is smart you don't need anything when you leave. Hell mine tried to slip in an oil change that I didn't ask for.

I have seen in other threads that there are RRT's for squeeky seats and warped rambox top caps.

I will try to get more info when I take my truck to the dealer soon.
