I took my truck in for the first tie rod recall when it first came out...when I got my truck back I kept hearing a weird noise for a few weeks...ended up finding out that my rim was so loose it almost fell off....I ended up needing ball joints and new tires soon after...about 6000 miles later started feeling front end sloppiness. ..took it to mechanic and needed tie rod....wanted recall done on block heater but parts were not available. ..got that answer multiple times....this recall to me is as important if not more that the other as it results in fire.....I'm not happy at all and I want my vehicle bought back...it's not safe....they say no, I disagree

Exhaust fumes enter the cabin whenever the heat or defrost is turned on. Becomes more when the exhaust brake is activated.
I have the 6.7 cummins diesel engine. While stopped and with the air conditioning on and while the truck is performing the regeneration process raw fuel and exhaust fumes enter the cab of the truck forcing me to roll my windows down. This has caused me to get lightheaded if I don't roll my window down in time. This happens about once every two weeks to me(each time the above conditions are met). Putting the air conditioning on recirculate will help. However recirculate will not work for the heater or window defroster which further impairs my ability to drive. I spoke to the dealer and they called dodge. Dodge said that this is normal. This is not normal and is a serious health and safety issue.
