The service dept. @ western slope chrysler is a good one!

My truck went in for state inspection(it passed for once) and I asked about the recall on the throttle cable. The service manager said "there is no recall on the cable. " I'm still trying to get reimbursed. I called the DC customer service line and they too said there is no recall. What's the deal?
 
I also had my truck in yesterday for 2 recalls I had heard on the news. The first the hood latch recall and the second the throttle cable recall. The dealer did the hood latch but said that there wasn't any recall on the throttle cable. Anyone know anything about this?

I replaced mine, sixty some bucks, had to do it cause the throttle stuck! NHTSA has the recall posted, however D. C. does not yet have their I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER together and according to them they will be sending owners the notice soon. The dealers know nothing, but when I told them it was a NHTSA recognized recall they got on the net and found it... . DUH. they cannot reimburse me or replace the cable on other trucks till D. C. tells them to do so.

Look for fraying cable between the sheath (outer cable) and where it connects to the injection pump. It does not take much to cause it to stick in the sheath. REPLACE it, I was lucky, mine stuck in rush hour traffic and I did not panic just slammed the clutch down and pulled to a side street.

JJP, What does the state look for on inspections? I'm in CA and, so far they don't look at the diesels.

Statland, In Pa they check lights, brakes,leaks in exhaust, holes in fenders ball joints, universal joints, tires, among other things to make sure your car is safe. When I was a kid they did it twice a year! Now it's only once a year. The kicker is the place that does the inspections also fixes the cars! You definately need to go to a place you trust.

JJP, Does that go for ALL vehicles? CA would have its traffic problems solved! I'm not kidding you we got some crap on these roads that is beyond belief, dog tracking, bent wheels, unknown parts just hanging most are driven by s. o. b. s (south of the border people) I am not a racist... just calling them as I see!

Had my throttle cable replaced about three weeks ago. Asked the Dodge dealer that replaced it about the recall. Even gave them a printout of the numbers and all the other info that was posted on this site. They checked with DC on their cumputer and found nothing. They said to save my receipts and if there is a recall I could get reimbursed. Fat Chance!
