If I buy a '19 2500 from a dealer that's not a Ram dealer...

[jeffjcalweb]

I will still be covered with the FCA CP4 recall & repair, right? I know this truck I'm looking at fits in the recall, I can see it listed on the carfax report. I just want to make sure even if I buy it, this is from a Toyota dealer, that I'm not going to get screwed somehow out of the recall being handled by FCA. Yes I'm probably being a bit stupid right now, but its a gamble I'd prefer to not make so better safe then sorry.

Thanks.

yes, you'll be covered. it's a recall.

^ what he said.

Unless the truck's been tuned because that opens it up to the possibility of a servicing dealer identifying that and flagging it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but being tuned wouldn't disqualify you from cp4 repair since the two are completely unrelated.

The recall will be honored on any 2019-20 because it is a safety recall. It cannot be denied by any dealer.

 

[elephantrider]

it wouldn't matter a hill of beans if you took a deleted truck in for the pump recall. stellantis has to do it. now, would there be any ancillary fallout? possible to likely.

If the vehicle has been written off, and rebuilt by a curbsider and put back onto the road, there would be no recall or warranty provisions from Chrysler. It, I believe, is up the purchaser when purchasing from a non Chrysler entity to register the purchase with Chrysler.

Have them give you a Carfax on it. That will tell you if it was a problem truck or if it was in an accident.

stellantis executes recalls by vin #.

I disagree. If he has a legally registered 2019-20 all he has to do is go to a dealer for the recall.
He can go to Mopar, enter his VIN # and it will show all recall info for his VIN #.

Yes, you are correct but if the vehicle has been previously stroked and put back onto the road there are no warranty or recall provisions whatsoever.

Don't know what you mean by "stroked" or "written off". Regardless, I still disagree, if the vehicle has a legal, current, valid registration the recall will be applied. This is a safety recall, they have to apply it to every currently registered vehicle, 2019-20.

I've got no intention of getting into a pissing match with you. I only spent 36 years as the fixed operations manager for a Chrysler store. I certainly apologize. You obviously know more than IU do.

 

[John Jensen]

Sorry I offended you. You still haven't said what you mean by "Stroked" or "written off". Stroked is a strange term for me, never heard of it except in building racing engines.

 

[H3LZSN1P3R]

The no warrenty makes sence but the no recall does not, care to elaborate what would allow them to negate their legal obligation on a mandatory recall? If its still running the faulty pump should it not still apply for the recall?

 

[elephantrider]

a recall is a recall. period. if the vin shows valid in the system, it will get a pump.

anything else is simply conjecture as to what would cause a vin not to be eligible.

for 36 yrs in the biz, your not being very clear on what would cause a denial.

 

[jeffjcalweb]

This was an interesting discussion lol... so I bought the truck. There was a Carfax (dealer provided) that showed the active recall. I updated my "Ram account" on the app w/the new VIN, shows recall there, of course no parts available. All good. Thanks for the feedback!

He means rebuilt. But of it was rebuilt it was done under warranty anyway...

We are not taking about A 1980 mustang here.... Surprised that guy lasted 36 years....

 

[John Jensen]

Yeah, 36 years is a long time. I'm not sure what a fixed operations manager does. Never heard of that title, neither has my grandson in Law who is a General Sales Manager at a pretty large Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram dealership

They are usually the ones over service department managers...body shops...parts departments...

Fancy title...about it.
