I went to the dealership for my recall. I had a pretty good understanding of it because I had already talked to a friend who is a mechanic but never helps me with anything 🤣😂!

But yet dealerships are marking them as closed. Thus here is a likelihood if they do not make a change in how their system operates, that another letter will not be sent out letting the customer know that the part is now available. And also Dodge recall is saying that the retainers loose in the steering wheel cover should be
