The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15v354000 (air bags); however, the parts to do the recall repair were not available.

NHTSA complaint #10920284, filed 2016-10Electrical system: “While driving on interstate 40 in arizona, the Dodge lost power and the ABS light came on along with the esp light and brake light. When lights illuminated the engine lost power and went into limp mode that significantly reduced speed. Once that happened a semi was behind me and he had to slam on his brakes. I was able to pull rv over and let it rest. After 2 hours of being on side of highway, I was able to get rv started and back on the road. I fixed the rear speed sensors and tried driving rv again. Same issue. …”
NHTSA complaint #11338967, filed 2020-07, 83,848 milesEngine cooling: “While driving on the freeway experienced a sudden loss of power which almost resulted in someone rear ending my vehicle. Proceeded to the nearest dealer who diagnosed a torn turbo-intercooler hose. Researching on the internet I discovered many complaints of the same issue. Evidently these hoses fail due to a poor design where the hose is attached to it's metal fitting. I phoned daimler-chrysler USA and they said they would not do anything to remedy the situation. I believe a recall is in order before someone is injured or killed due to a hose failure.”
