I live in Manitoba, Canada, and I just phoned 1800-465-2001 and gave them my VIN #. The lady I talked to said she couldnt pull anything up, but she was looking into it and would phone me back. She did mention something about my truck being under some extended warrenty. Its a 1999 with 130,000 km's (80,000 miles)

If she does phone me back with any other information, i'll let you guys know.

 

ya i got an official letter from chrylser about a month ago stating that my warranty for my cat is only good till 70k miles for replacement. its a 99 and i have 104k on it. If i take it to a dealership would they still fix it or what?

 

Well, I heard back from Daimler Chrysler, and the exhaust on my 1999 Ram will be covered for 10 years/200,000 km's!! I dont think it has failed yet because it doesnt rattle, and im getting not bad gas millage. I might have to take it to the dealership though and get them to do a flow test on the cat. If it fails im getting it replaced for free.

This is definatly something everybody should check into!!

 

and if it passes, your paying for the diagnostic test on your cat
fair warning

 

Well maybe i'll get into good terms with one of the technicians at a local dealership and see what they can do for me

 

I called about my 97 ram with a rattling cat....they checked my vin and said I didnt have a recall...I guess I have to many miles, 99,500

 

is this north american wide??? or just in the states..

I hade mine done under warrenty...... but had to pay a detuctable!!

i wild like tht 100 bucks back!!!!

 

It does apply to Canadians as well. Just phone that number, go through the prompts, enter your VIN and get the person on the other end to do a check. Im pretty sure if your truck is within those years of the recall, and its within 10 years of 200,000 km's, it should be covered.

If you are from Canada, you'll probably get Stephanie on the phone
