“I have purchased a vehicle from canada that is currently being held in customs. There is an open recall (18v-486) that is currently tagged as remedy not available . The vehicle manufacturer has no timetable available for the release of the parts required to fix this recall, so my vehicle can be fixed and released from customs.”
NHTSA complaint #11121086, filed 2018-08, 21,000 miles“The tow hooks on the front of my Ram 2500 truck were used to pull the truck onto a tow truck bed that was lowered to the ground. Both hooks were used, as directed by the owner's manual. The truck's transmission was put in neutral. The truck was gently winched onto the tow truck. As it was being pulled, the entire bumper assembly was being yanked out from the frame of the truck, causing damage to the front fenders. The tow driver stopped and the truck (with a flat tire) had to be driven the rest of the way up to prevent further damage due to the bumper/tow hook failure. …”
