A/C EVAPORATOR COIL WENT BAD AND RELEASED THE FREON INSIDE THE VEHICLE SINCE THIS IS IN THE DASH AREA INSIDE OF THE TRUCK CAB. THE RELEASE WAS OVER TIME AND WAS JUST REPAIRED. REPLACEMENT OF THE EVAPORATOR COIL, NEW FREON, HEATER CORE (WAS SUGGESTED TO REPLACE DUE TO THE ACCESS AND EASE TO REPLACE AN ITEM THAT WOULD GO OUT NEXT MOST LIKELY) AND THE VALVE - A/C. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. TOTAL COST WAS JUST UNDER $2100.

NHTSA #17V-821 THE RAM SERVICE CENTERS ARE STATING THAT DODGE HAS NOT SENT OUT THE PARTS AND COMPUTER UPDATE TO FIX THE RECALL. I CALLED DODGE AND THEY SAID AROUND AUGUST 2018 BUT THAT CAN CHANGE. THE SERVICE CENTER RECEIVED UPDATES ON THE 2018 AND 2017 MODELS BUT NOTHING ON THE LATER MODELS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS RECALL NOT BEING COMPLETED IN A TIMELY MANNER WHICH COULD RESULT IN A DEATH IF TRUCK COMES OUT OF GEAR AND ROLLS. I HAVE BEEN CALLING EVERY MONTH SINCE RECALL ISSUED BUT STILL UNABLE TO GET THE ISSUE FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER.
