That’s right. This recall affects only one 2019 Ram 1500.
Automakers have to deal with recalls every day. However, it is not always the case. We are not referring to one model but one vehicle. It’s specifically for a 2019 RAM 1500 and the problem is an instrument cluster which could not work. NHTSA Campaign Number 19V556000 may be directed at your 2019 Ram if the instrument cluster is not lit up like a Christmas tree.
The FCA will notify owners of the problem and provide a free replacement of the defective instrument cluster for the millions of unaffected people. Although the recall is set to start on September 13, we aren’t sure why it has been delayed. However, only one affected vehicle was involved in the recall. FCA has already identified a problem with one truck and has the information about the owner.
The NHTSA notification includes four documents. These include a non-compliance statement, recall acknowledgment, notice to dealers (yes, dealerships), as well as remedy instructions. This is all for replacing the pickup truck’s instrument cluster. Although we don’t know exactly what automakers need to do for a recall, we believe this is the most common procedure. However, it’s still a hilariously funny process for one truck. FCA headquarters is currently home to a middle-ranking executive who is drowning in red tape because of this. We offer condolences to the person responsible.
Allpar.com tipped us off to this funny action, which gives more insight into why it might take so long. Although the affected vehicles were only one, the documentation added 2018 and 2019 model-year DS Ram 1500s to the document. Further investigation revealed that a number of clusters were affected by software that was a bit unstable, leading to the cluster’s failure. The recall only relates to one production vehicle. However, all but one cluster went into preproduction evaluation cars.
