Journeyman425 Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 The recall procedure and parts availability were recently updated and are now available for people to schedule. We did one so far and it took about an hour and a half to do. dhh3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dporto Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Journeyman425 How could it take 1.5 hours to apply die-electric grease and a piece of heat shrink to a terminal ? dhh3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) Just received my second notice saying that the parts are in! 3 days late as I had my done last Wednesday! They also have to check the headlight harness, besides fix the ABS ground. The notice says that the fix can take up to 2 hours.

Journeyman425 Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 Journeyman425 How could it take 1.5 hours to apply die-electric grease and a piece of heat shrink to a terminal ? That's the easier part. The recall also involves removing the wiper cowl to gain access to the ABS module. The harness connector there has to be inspected and dielectric grease applied if there is no corrosion present at it. dhh3 and jkeaton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedhorse00 Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Got my letter earlier this month. Coincidently my lights had come on the week before while I was out of town for Thanksgiving. M6 brother works for a Machanic that ran the lights and it shows the right front sensor. When I called the number listed on the recall they said to take it in to a local dealer and have a diagnotice ran. The lady at the dealership was all "the sensors have nothing to do with this recall" and shoved my letter in my hands and that was it. I told them I need to have the diagnostic ran but they just kept saying it has nothing to do with it. Now nearly I got the second letter and made an appointment with a different dealership that will be almoat 2 weeks away! This notice says the fix is 2 hrs but they say I have to leave my vehicle there at 1:30 in the afternoon and it will be 24 hrs at the earliest!! I have no other mode of transportation and the rep I spoke to on the recall notice tried to call and couldn't get anyone to talk to about it, she said hopefully they will call back in a few days!!! WTH kind of customer service?! dhh3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhh3 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 My Dealer would never do something like this. I go in to talk about Auto Headlights, and they offer to do the Recall as long as I was there. Took less than the 2 hours stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FCA can then send the new owner the recall. I do not think that the possibility of losing one's ABS deserves an LOL.

I didn't mean to to be funny towards the new owner, meant it more like that I thought it was funny that I didn't get the recall on my current vehicle only one I sold. dhh3, OhareFred and jkeaton 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only purpose is to stop the recall notices from coming to you. That you get them simply means that whoever bought your vehicle hasn't bothered register his vehicle with FCA - his problem, not yours since you probably don't know who it is anyway. When (if) he ever takes the vehicle to an FCA dealer for service they'll catch the outstanding recall. At least it isn't as if the vehicle is going to blow up this time around.

JG_R Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hello from Europe, My Freemont is affected by this recall - I only found out by checking the Mopar site. I have asked FCA when the recall will be carried out in Europe to be told that while it does affect my vehicle no plans for a recall are available outside of N. American markets. Either a) FCA reckons we Europeans don't need ABS anyway or b) they give less of a toss about their European customers (probably because we are less likely to sue). Either way, I'm pissed. I accept the likelihood of failure is low but nonetheless losing any braking ability on a 2.2 ton vehicle is less than cool. What's more annoying is that the safety recall was first published in October and I bought the car in November (I only found the safety recall later - as I didn't check first because I sort of assumed that you wouldn't sell a car with a known manufacturer fault - at least without notifying the customer!) I have tried to get any sort of reply from FCA Poland as to when they will resolve this problem - with side questions as to why they care less about us Europeans than N Americans, to no avail - to the point where I am already escalating it. Does anyone have any Points of Contact who might be able to help me find out the answers? dhh3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 The reason it is only in North America is because it was mandated by the NHTSA and Industry Canada, and is not a voluntary FCA program - I guess they figure that this is not a safety issue, so they are only executing the program where they are forced to.I suggest you might want to lobby your local variant of the US and Canadian agencies and ask that they mandate FCA to perform the safety recall on vehicles sold in the EU. jkeaton and rolly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
