COPY OF TEXT MESSAGE TO K AND M DODGE IN GRAND RAPIDS, MI WHO CURRENTLY HAS MY RV :MIKE BLATTNER AND MISSY WILLMAN, I NEED AN APPT TO DISCUSS MY DODGE SPRINTER CHASSIS RV THAT WAS TOWED 02/21/18 IN THERE BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE SPRINTER 3500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO BE SERVICED FOR THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V354000 (AIR BAGS), HOWEVER THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HE WOULD BE CHARGED FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE SCREEN ATTACHED TO THE WINDOW IN ORDER TO GET TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR. THE RECALL REMEDY WAS NOT PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT DID NOT EXPERIENCE A FAILURE.
FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THE TUBE CONNECTED TO THE EGR VALVE SPLIT APART. THE TUBE IS LOCATED DIRECTLY UNDER THE CAB AIR INTAKE, SO EXHAUST GASSES ARE PUMPED INTO THE CAB. WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT THE TUBE BROKE COMPLETELY APART AND THE PRESENCE OF EXHAUST WAS OBVIOUS. SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN 85K MILES, I AM CONCERNED THE NEXT TIME IT MIGHT JUST CRACK AND CAUSE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 10 AT 65 MPH. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN, THE TUBE RUPTURED BECAUSE THE EGR VALVE STUCK CLOSED, CAUSING PRESSURE TO BUILD UP IN THE TUBE. I HAVE ALL THE PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED AND CAN SHIP THEM TO YOU IF NECESSARY.
