Recall info goes here

Question is has any one had this happen recently and did Dodge cover all work under the recall being that it is now a 4 year old recall? Not sure if there is any valve damage or not yet but I would assume that would be covered as well..no? If any one has same experience please let me know what to expect or my next plan of action. I am disappointed in my service center as they had never informed me of recalls when it was in for oil changes etc.. but were always quick to point out other services that were needed.

Put your VIN in. If it's got an internal engine related recall, then you should be good - there's an engine debris recall for less than 500 cars.

There's also a "Customer Satisfaction Notification" for 2012 5.7's that addresses this. Not quite a recall, but sounds like they admitted to something.

There's additional information at the Allpar website.
Recall info:

https://www.allpar.com/news/2017/07/...l-friday-38203

2011-14 Challengers, Chargers, 300s, Durangos, and 2012-14 Grand Cherokees with the 5.7 or 3.6 liter engine and 160, 180, or 220 amp alternator, may have sudden alternator failure which can cause stalling or, possibly, a fire.
This is recall T36, expected to start on August 24. 442,214 vehicles are affected in the United States.
The issue is a diode failing due to cyclical loads induced by the electrohydraulic steering (EHPS). Failed diodes can also short, resulting in heat, smoke, or fire within the alternator. The recall replaces the alternators with upgraded units.

Looks like 2011-14 Chargers are included in the alternator recall. Anyone know if it's trim-level specific? Or all Chargers?

Take this one very seriously, there have been reports of car fires and minimally the car just dying while you are driving it, leaving you with no power or lights, ( no way to indicate to other drivers that you are in trouble and trying to get to the shoulder, thats what happened to me) 1100$ later it was the alternator and it took the battery with it.. my car is on the recall list so i should be reimbursed.

Luckily, no fire with mine. I got a battery saver mode message, and I took it to an auto parts store to have my battery/alternator tested. While I was in the parking lot, I got multiple messages of one component after another being turned off (obviously, to save power). The tester indicated the alternator was doing absolutely nothing. I probably would not have been able to get out of the parking lot. Had to have it towed to the dealer.

Airbag RecallI've just received notification that the PAB (I assume to mean the passenger airbag) on my 2012 Charger R/T needs to be replaced under a safety recall. This is the degraded explosive and metal fragments issue that has been reported on for several years. Does anyone know how the PAB is accessed? Does it require complete dismantling of the dashboard or can it be reached after merely removing the glovebox?
