Important:
Some bulletins may apply only to specific production dates, models and/or
equipment. Not all affected vehicles
will exhibit described problems, failure rates may vary widely.
Not all bulletins do involve repair issues, some are simply issued for
informational purposes only.
Technical
Service Bulletin's (ie: TSB's) are not Recalls.
"Preventive" service repairs will normally not be performed under
warranty
if a vehicle is not exhibiting the particular symptom or problem.
For
in depth explanations of what TSB, RRT, RCL mean, take a look at Top Challenger
Tips'n Tricks Tip:71.
For vehicles that are out of warranty, any TSB related work that is
performed is usually charged at the normal dealer service rate(s).
Also you can see if there are any recalls
for your car, just fill in the last 8 digits of your Vehicles VIN number. Dodge - Contact Us
Edmunds
keeps a pretty up to date website and listing of TSB's and RRT's at this SITE
as well. Maintenance,
