the Canadian recall say any loose pinion nuts, locked up rear axle or completely failed rear axle get rebuilt...as part of the recall...no charge. Go to the governing body for motor vehicles in your country and get a copy of the recall and see if its the same in Sweden. If it is, go into the dealership with it in hand or call fCA Sweden. You should not be paying for recall work.

So my truck wouldn’t be ready until next Thursday!! WTF....they have had my truck for six hole weeks now!! Also they told me that Dodge won’t take the costs for that blown diff!!

If the recall for the rear diff on your truck is still open, (meaning, it hasn't been checked/repaired once already) then FCA CANNOT decline repairs for your truck. You are getting bent over. Time to contact a lawyer.

Here ya go. If the pinion nut was at fault for your rear end going belly up, then yes, it is covered by the recall, and Dodge is obligated to fix it for free. If the dealer is telling you otherwise, give them your lawyers phone number.

Thanks.... the story continues..

called fca sweden today. She couldn’t tell me if is covered by dodge. She had to call the shop where my truck is at. She told me that she call me right back.... nopp I guess that I’ll have to call ger tomorrow again!!

She also told me that the Guy who handels this is still sick....one Guy only for all europe?

Six weeks.... what can I say? I’m soooooooo disappointed that I can’t find words for it!!!

Think this is gonna be funny when I pick up my truck on thursday 1400 usd poorer. and I gonna tell them that I want my blown diff back? So I can examine it....

regards michael

What reason do they offer as to the decline of the claim? Does the failure match the description of the recall?

Don’t know...she wouldn’t tell. She just Said that the campain only covered the replacement of a nutretainer?

Don’t know what the shop told her? But I guess that I’ll never will found out?

Don’t know IF you have seen the pics in the beginning?

The recall flatly states that if the diff needs to be reconditioned (rebuilt), Dodge will do it, at no cost to you. It's right there in black and white. Including the part about giving you a 100 dollar gift card for your inconvenience. You need a lawyer.
