I received my recall notice n49/nhtsa 13v-529 a few months ago. When I took my truck in for service I asked them to check the recall. They said it would be 4 to 6 months for parts. I called Dodge and they said there is a restriction on these parts. It is summer travel time and I wanted this done before my trips when hauling a 34 foot trailer. Why send out recalls when nothing can be done about it? Steering · reported at 26,000 miles
