I received a ve5 late life emission performance degradation recall in january 2021. I had the recall performed on 1.27/2021 at razzari dodge, merced. They installed a new cat converter and exhaust manifold. When I got my truck back, I had an cel error code p2271 o2 sensor. I had to pay $707.74 and $978.98 to get the truck running. I had no previous cel. I think they broke the wiring harness or o2 sensors when they performed the recall. . I think the ve5 recall repair, should make the entire emissions system function, including the control electronics.

Chrysler safety recall p65/the federal safety agency 14v‑635 I was sent the safety recall notice in december of 2014. As of april 2015, I called chrysler and they said that the parts are not available. 5 months after the recall notice was sent out, and the parts are still not available for this critical safety recall, which if not fixed, could cause an engine compartment fire. They did not give me a date as to when the parts would be available. Chrysler is not acting in good faith to fix this safety problem.
