Yeah right

Well,

It's just speculation either way without actual data.

Don't forget the feels, that makes all the difference in the facts.

Purchased above described truck used on 3-13-21. Drove it once approx 500 miles when the following message appeared on the dashboard. " Exhaust system service required see dealer" The truck went into safe/ limp mode as a result. I drove it to the closest dealer ( Feldman Ram in Woodhaven...

Here is a post from just a few days ago regarding a CP4 failure. Throughout various forums and Youtube I learn about a new failure every couple of weeks or so.

I’d be willing to bet the actual number of failures are less than 10% but still enough to be alarming and indicate a problem in my opinion

I dont know...I "feel" the squeaky belts and bad Idle pulleys have been a bigger issue and I see more of those.

I searched CP4 failure on youtube...nothing to get excited about.. a lot of "talk" on how to maybe prevent it it more than actual people with failures.

I mean search DPF failures....let me know how you feel about it.

How many 19-20 CTD's sold?

236,592

How many failures get posted online? <shrugs>

Applying the 80/20 rule, let's say 20% of truck owners with a failed CP4 are posting online. For every one posting, there are 3-4 more that don't use social media or online forums. Discounting miles/hours, the failures are probably something more like 104 weeks @5 per week at most? 520 trucks?

520/236,592. That's 0.22%

Maybe my math is wrong, I'm all ears.

That said, 520 trucks failing @$10K per (cost) is costing FCA $5.2M every 2 years only while under warranty. Replacing the pumps on 236,592 trucks costs what, $3k/each? That's $710M

Say it's 10x that or 5,200 trucks. That's a 2.2% failure. THAT might get them to do something.

What we can't estimate are the intangible costs to lost sales now and in future.

And law suits, lemon law press coverage, lost wages due to units being work trucks.

The liability can approach $1B faster than one would imagine.

I wonder if the mirror placement ...up or down...affects the failure rate?
