Dakota 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

I recently had my exterior lighting go out on my 2002 Dodge Dakota and the Dodge dealership repaired the problem stating that it was the ctm ( central timing module). I am aware that there is a recall on the 03 Dakota for this same problem and I would like to know if there was an investigation for the 02 Dakota.
