Look what I just read

I have an 06 1500, but haven't heard anything yet. Will have to ask next time I go in. Thanks for posting this stuff.

 

What if you don't get it done? Would you be liable if you sold it to someone with a kid and they were injured by it?

 

Yes, this recall was just released yesterday. Actually it is 2 recalls, one for the seatbelt and one for the airbag. I pulled them up on the computer right away. (because I own an '06 1500).
Customer notification will not happen for a few weeks because they need to get enough parts built to accomodate the huge demand that will be coming in. At this point dealers are instructed to only fix un-sold vehicles with serious prospective buyers. (because a dealer cannot legally sell a NEW vehicle with an open recall). Customers are probably going to be asked to wait until parts are more readily available.



I don't believe there is any liablility to the OWNER to sell it. But why wouldn't you do it anyway?

 

Well I just checked dodge.com and put my vin in and it said yes. I didn't read all of the post before I called and made an appointment. But they didn't say anything about waiting. I'm taking mine in tomorrow.

 

Parts are available... but not enough if ALL the owners come withing 1 weeks time.

I doubt a dealer is going to make you wait - unless he is out of the parts - and I didn't say they would.
But the owner notification cards aren't going out for a few weeks yet.

 

Let us know how long it takes for the items to be fixed. Just wondering how long I'll be without a vehicle again because of their mistake.

 

They told me that if it is affected, then it will only take them about 2 hours. I will drop it off at 8:00 tomorrow and try to remember to let you guys know.

 

Thank you in advance. That information would be very much appreciated.

 

Yep, mine came up needing it too. As I'll never have a baby seat in the truck I don't really care, but I guess I'll have them do it when I get my first oil change in a month or two.
