On the evening of July 30, 2015 while driving my 2012 Dodge Ram 5500 utility truck, there was a fire in the engine compartment which I believe was due to recall P65. This recall is for the diesel fuel heater electrical connector. This vehicle was taken to dealerships multiple times for repair, yet I was told that no part was available to perform recall. This truck was deemed a total loss.
