Hmmmm... all I could dig up so far was an FCA list of campaigns, which referred to it as "Federal Emissions". They better not be going to de-tune my Cummins.

If my truck is involved, I will hold out on this until enough people have it done, and can say whether performance is hampered, or not.

Hello all. VB6 is part of the recall for the Transmission Valve Body and will be performed at the same time. We do recommend scheduling an appointment as soon as possible to address this. If anyone needs assistance, please send a private message!

So an HO Cummins with Aisin is not included in this?

For this inquiry, 1HasBeen, we recommend speaking with your dealer. You can also check to see if you're included at https://www.mopar.com/en-us/my-vehicle/recalls/search.html.

Just left my dealer and was told no parts available. Now I’m scared to death to pull my trailer with my Harley’s in it for fear it’s gonna catch on fire! So much for my winter trip to Fla! Thought when I bought this one my troubles were over, guess they are just starting again!.........:-(((

I’ve towed 8k for hours on end, and climbed a ski resort maintenance road to 4000’ trans temps around 210 degrees and did not exhibit and trans fluid puking out. I’d make sure the dipstick is pushed in and enjoy your trip. Oh, and carry a fire extinguisher just in case!

I sure don’t need this thing going down in flames on I-75 with 2 bikes in the trailer........:-/ Great idea on the fire extinguisherI’ve towed 8k for hours on end, and climbed a ski resort maintenance road to 4000’ trans temps around 210 degrees and did not exhibit and trans fluid puking out.

Hey, Curt. At this time, you are still able to drive your vehicle until your recall is repaired. While driving, we recommend frequently monitoring the transmission temperature while in operation using the gauges available on the instrument cluster. If transmission temperature exceeds 210°F, immediately proceed to a safe location to park the vehicle and allow the transmission temperature to cool to less than 190°F. We hope this helps.

2019 Aisin shifting is weird and poor - why?
I'd agree about the newer version of the transmission. I had a 16 DRW with the Aisin which shifted much more smoothly than the one in my 19 SRW. I will also check with the dealer about the programming. My truck was built in March of last year, I believe, so I'm not sure which update it would...

Correct. These are two different pathways. The recall in this thread is the 68 trucks with the trans and oil issue that can start a fire.
When it comes to the HO trucks the dealers are expecting an ECM and TCM update by the end of Q1 of this year so by the end of next month. This will be a TSB but maybe a recall for the HO trucks.
They originally did a TCM update that was not favorable so they are going after an ECM update and marrying that with the TCM so it will be an extensive two part flash.
The tech at my dealer and I have been chatting for a while and he has put me “on the list” of people to call to test out the first release of it.
We are doing the same thing with the body mounts for the grinding noise and looking into the testing of the parts on the clunk/thud everyone has been describing.
