I have a 2016 Laramie Longhorn Eco Diesel I bought new. Great truck. Excellent mileage.

I tried to take advantage of the $3000 offer Dodge offered to meet omissions requirements. After several attempts I gave up and just kept driving it. I also have had trouble getting a different recall as the local dealer can't get the part and I've heard that part is critical to prevent engine failure. Any suggestions?

I am interested in knowing the what type of engine damage can occur.

A class action lawsuit alleges Fiat Chrysler (FCA) sold hundreds of thousands of Ram 1500 trucks equipped with defective exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) coolers between June 12, 2013 to October 23, 2019. The suit claims that the EGR coolers are prone to thermal fatigue, which makes the coolers more prone to internal cracks over time. An internal crack will then introduce preheated, vaporized coolant to the EGR system while the engine is running. This is a potentially dangerous situation as the intake manifold may combust and result in a vehicle fire if the mixture interacts with other hydrocarbons and air in the system. One of the plaintiffs in the class experienced just this: her truck suddenly lost power and caught fire.

Welcome to the forum. I ended up going to my local dealer and having them order the parts and call me as soon as they came in. I did bother them every few days so as to expedite the process a bit. 😉😂😂
