Has any one had any luck getting this done in the last couple of years?

I phoned Dodge and they said that recalls are VIN related so even if your pump doesn't have the infinity symbol you are SOL.

They also said that recalls only last 10 yrs so this has long since expired... Always thought a recall was a recall

Here's the Recall if any one is interested

Yup, a bit over a year ago A Canadian (Thebigbully?) got a new one under the recall. Safety recalls NEVER expire...Mark

Here is the thread...Mark

Thanks, I PM'ed thebigbully to ask how he went about it.

Dealership said they can't and won't do it, can't do recalls on vehicles older then 2000. They would need to get authorized from head quarters.

I placed a call into a recall at Transport Canada, waiting to hear back

In that thread he goes through about the same, but when it is pointed out that safety recalls never expire, he got a new pump...Mark

I tried telling dodge that on the phone, she replied in a snarky voice "Recalls are only valid for 10 years" is there anything else I can help you with today?

Just read that whole thread, I enter my VIN number into the Dodge and Chrysler recall site and it says no recalls exist. Yet my pump has no infinity symbol, it is a reman pump and no symbol on the reman plate either

Pm THEBIGBULLY, he can tell you how he did it, there are actually 2 different vin sites listed in that thread that produce different results...Mark

gyman98

I have a outstanding PM to THEBIGBULLY to how he did it. Using either of the sites listed produces the same result "no recalls"

I also sent Dodge a email so I have something in writing, we'll see what they say

Are you sure that your rig qualifies? My 90 did not...Mark

Going by the wording in the recall it does, its a 92 without the infinity symbol on the pump

I also have a pump with no infinity symbol but I have the wrong date code ###.

163-169 is what your looking for.

Pm sent.

I live outside a tiny little town with the Dodge dealership being the only big business there.

Head mechanic vouched for me as I had walked in with just the pump in my hand. The area manager said I could have taken it off of another truck.

Same western area manager will be dealing with you if you fall into the category with everything matching up so you are eligible for a new pump.

Contact this manger and fill him in.

It was totally painless for me.

(or maybe being an extra large retired paratrooper worked as well )

gyman98

My date code is 167 so that checks out as well

Do you have a number for the area manager or his name?

So far its been a complete run around, doesn't help that the local dealer is next to useless either.

(maybe I'll have to start going and talking to them in person, being a 6 and a half foot over-grown hairy construction worker might help me too )

You may also want to mention to them that the American feds may well be interested in Dodge not wanting to honor a safety recall, the potential liability that they may be exposed to and past practice, I.E. mister BULLY got one a little more than a year ago, well past the 10 years. They should quickly realize that a new VE is much less trouble. I also like to climb the corporate ladder until I get to somebody with power and doesn't really want to talk to me...Mark

Reading that one key line I would not give you one if I was dodge it is now on the Reman company. I highly doubt dodge put on a reman under warranty and anything after the time should have been upgraded. My 2cents on the issue.
