Electrical complaints
I received a interim recall notice in september 2020 #20v-404 and have gotten nowhere with this critical safety issue. I was told the campaign had been suspended. The right rear tail lights and blinker do not work due to a damaged (pdm) power distribution module. How does this huge safety issue continue with no support after 5 months? Can you please tell what is going on with this recall. I also had to have recall #20v-529 repaired at my local tire store as the valve stem was nearly cut off and have yet to be reimbursed by daimler trucks north america llc.
