Default Recall - R36 Steering Wheel wiring 2010-2014

Just did got a letter about a recall on the steering wheel wiring harness. see below!

__________________________________________________ ____________________________________
IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL R36 / NHTSA 15V-459
This notice applies to your vehicle (VIN: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Dear: (Name)
FCA has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2012 through 2014 model year Dodge RAM Pickup trucks.

The problem is...
The steering wheel wire harness on your vehicle may become chaffed by the driver airbag module retainer spring ends. A chaffed steering wheel wire harness could cause an electrical short and/or an inadvertent driver airbag deployment. Inadvertent driver airbag deployment, during certain driving conditions, may increase the risk of a crash and/or vehicle occupant injury.

What your dealer will do...
FCA will repair your vehicle free of charge. To do this, your dealer will inspect the steering wheel wire harness, and repair if needed. The steering wheel wire harness will be rerouted and secured to prevent wire chaffing and protective caps will be installed onto the airbag retainer spring ends. The work will take about ½ hour to complete. However, additional time may be necessary depending on service schedules.

What you must do to ensure your safety...
Simply contact your Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge or RAM dealer right away to schedule a service appointment. Please bring this letter with you to your dealer.

If you need help...
If you have questions or concerns which your dealer is unable to resolve, please contact the FCA Group Recall Assistance Center at either recalls.mopar.com or 1-800-853-1403.

Please help us update our records by filling out the attached prepaid postcard if any of the conditions listed on the card apply to you or your vehicle.

Box 21-8007, Auburn Hills, MI 48321-8007, Attention: Reimbursement. Once we receive and verify the required documents, reimbursement will be sent to you within 60 days.

Yeap, got that recall notice on my app the same day I was at the dealer for the OCM recall. Waiting on parts to come in and a call from the dealer.

Yup, my dealership told me this morning they're waiting on rubber spacers to come in before they can do the recall. It seems they're always waiting on parts.

Yep, I haven't received the letter yet, but that recall shows up for my VIN in the computer. Dealer also says that they are waiting on parts.

Had the recall work done on the wiring harness today. Took all of 30 mins or so for them to inspect the harness and put the corrective action in place.
Hope no more recalls come out.
