“I am with a state DOT and we have experienced transmission water intrusion into a transmission bulkhead connector on two trucks with a third unconfirmed. The models affected are from the 2014 and 2015 model years for the Ram 4500 and 5500. This bulkhead connector is located near front wheel splash and it is not properly protected.
