NHTSA complaint #11757044, filed 2026-08“Dash light came on for ABS. Took my truck to a Dodge Dealership to be repaired plus other non urgent work to be done.

While checking in my truck with the Service Department, they mentioned some Recalls that I needed done and they would take care of everything.
