recall Z20?

[jadmt]

anybody else got this? (rhetorical question lol) seems odd it says it is a software update but parts no available. Looking further it says notifications won't be sent until the end of April..it popped up when I logged into "my ram owner site"

Yup. Ran into it yesterday when I went to get my oil changed. The recall came out on 16 March. The service writer couldn't schedule me since it said "No parts available" but it looks like a module flash.

I'm assuming that's the same as this:

No, I have not received this recall. Thanks for the info. I'll probably wait until oil change time.

Yep...I got a notification email from NHTSA since I registered both of my vehicles with them. Checked the Mopar Owners site and it verified the recall with "parts unavailable".

Talked to FCA today that recall and the fuel pump recall are to be out by late April I was told.

Just checked my VIN at the NHTSA website and my truck (Due to arrive 4-14) will be recalled. I saw on another forum that the dealer can’t sell the truck until it is corrected. The NHTSA site says “Recall StatusRecall Incomplete, remedy not yet available”. I am not thrilled that my ordered truck may get mothballed on a lot somewhere waiting for a cure… or to be vandalized.

Check yours here:

My truck was built February 17th, and it’s still sitting at the plant “on hold.” It’s also on the recall list. Pretty ridiculous tbh…

Stupid i would prefer Removing the ESC system completely

Dealer called and told me about the recall today. Said dont bring it in yet because parts aren't available yet. Then she checked and said go ahead and bring it, takes about an hour, they can do it with an update. Leaving in the morning to go on a camping trip, may take it when I get back.

that makes the most sense since it is simply a software update. Not sure why they say no parts available.

The “parts” would have been the software update, which wasn’t available yet when they made the initial recall announcement.
Here is the newly revised recall that will start getting sent out:

Just had mine done. Took about 15 minutes.

I just talked to a dealer in Bellevue, WA, minutes ago and they said they weren't given the means nor the go-ahead to schedule appts for the fix....even though its a software fix. They know about the recall, but aren't scheduling appts until given the go-ahead.

Then I called another dealer in Kirkland, WA and they have no notice of the recall yet.

OK......so we just keep driving even thought the recall states, 'Unexpected performance of the ESC system with no warning to the driver can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.'

Is this a lawsuit in the making?

pretty sure it only affects the little light on your dash not displaying that your traction control is kicked in..Most likely the seat of your pants will tell you that traction control is working....I went out to test mine and my dash lights light up when traction control is working..

Yeh, I was mainly being tongue-in-cheek. But it's still pretty poor when a software recall is announced before the dealers are able to deal with it. But that's not my world so I'm not fretting about it.

Traction control and electronic stability control are two entirely different systems. In the case of the recall, it is that the ESC system might be disabled without setting off the MIL.

Dealers can’t sell any affected new inventory trucks from their lots until they are fixed.

To be fair, the problem has existed since you've owned the truck - even long before, if you just got it. I've yet to hear about these trucks unexpectedly crashing.

I wouldn't be all that concerned. I'll hopefully get it done with my next oil change. If not, there's always the next one.
