Highly recommend anyone who has not reached out to NHTSA with their failure to do so. There’s a lot of data that needs to be handed to them. They’re initiating an investigation based on 82 complaints….meanwhile the spreadsheet of K1 failures I’ve been working on for the past two years has 356 trucks on it, some of which have failed multiple times.

Haven't they launched the same investigation on 3500 HO trucks?
I can't believe this is still happening to AISINS, seems to be a much larger issue than I initially thought.

This investigation would solely look at 3500 / 4500 / 5500 trucks equipped with the Aisin. More specifically 2022 and 2023 model years. It’s being conducted by the NHTSA. Up until now, they have not been involved in any investigations of the issue. Everything that has happened up until now has been done internally by Stellantis and Aisin.

Just saw this on the news myself, strongly recommend reporting it if you have had this issue.

Reported my experience to the NHTSA.

Would it be easy to reach out to those folks so they can contact the NHTSA?

The NHTSA has a submission form on their website. Is that what you mean?

I meant for the list of the folks that you have, maybe they are not aware of this investigation by the NHTSA

It would take a considerable amount of work for me to reach out to each person on the list. Hopefully they’ll still be following the posts I have running here and elsewhere, and will take it upon themselves to reach out. If all that was necessary was 82 reports to get an investigation rolling, I had that many in the first few months of 2023.
