I called my dealer and he shows no added warranty on my '14. I have no added warranty because mine is over 10 years old. But glad I did it due to calif reg. Oh well.
The extended warrantee is for trucks 2013 thru 2018. Your original warrantee has nothing to do with it.
Your dealer either doesn't know about the extended warrantee (unlikely) or they are lying to you.
 
My experience March 2024. My Ram 2500 went for 67A recall. The minute I drove away I got engine light on. Code P2201 emission related. Have another appointment at the dealer. When I spoke with them they play solid wall. They say it may or may not be related. However Iam hearing lots of people have similars issue after performing same recall
 
My brother took his 18 in for the recall before I could stop him. Only 50 miles since getting it back but no issues so far. Hoping it stays that way. Will report back either way. Is there a general consensus on how many miles before I can expect to be in the clear?

I spoke with a CARB person from the BAR today about the recall. Basically it is a re flash to set everything to the original specs. They were changed to prevent the CEL from coming on. No CEL= no dealership warranty repair. Now it will work as CARB planned so that's why we get the added warranty. If you get a CEL after the recall then it should have gone off but didn't due to the modified program.

So if your tuned don't do the recall. Carb dosent require it to register anyway so don't chance it.
My question is will it brick the pcm inadvertantly. Some say it has but I suspect that's due to bad tune already on truck. Might be wise to have a known good or new PCM to reflash if it becomes necessary.

I emailed with the attorney advisor for the epa and she said the case despite having an agreed upon settlement has not yet been fully finalized with a final ruling. She also did say that despite that we should still get access to the special extended warranty if we got the recall done. Our correspondence was on Friday so I am waiting for more from her this week. That's my update for you all.

I've heard 500, mine was 150.

Did she say when the final final will happen ? Did she indicate if the ram dealers would be the ones doing the fixes?
I hope it doesn't take long , as I cant use my Truck, it has gone into LIMP mode.
 
Similar issues. Had recall done and approx. 200 miles later check engine light come on so took to the dealer and he tried to reset the code and then truck pops up with a Def problem and check engine problem..
Made an appt. 2 days later for a diagnostic to find out what is going on. Was charged $205 for the diagnostic (was supposed to be covered under Cummings extended warrantee).
Results were code U029E- lost communication with NOx sensor. Also said that that he found soot on the EGR Bypass.( he gave no code for that) quoted a $4000. plus fix
This is a 2016 Dodge Ram 3500 Truck with 35282 miles . I told him that truck ran perfect before Emission recall was done and that according to the Cummins settlement, they would be responsible for the fixes. Dealer knew nothing about any settlement . As it sits right now I cant use my truck because it is going to go into the 5 mile per hour mode.
Put in a complaint with Mopar and the specialist didn't seem to know about the extended warrantee either.
Totally frustrated at this point.

this is a silly question…if you’re tuned, obviously DO NOT get the recall.

She did not say that yet but I am not done corresponding with her amd intend on asking. Currently standing by on that one. I did have whoever Chris from RamCares referred my case to call me today. He also said he knew nothing of the settlement, said he will reach out to my dealer and ask if they say it is related to the recall. First off I already know they won't, second recall or not its covered when this thing is established if it has nit yet been and finally I asked him just who will be refunding the dealer and he said they would pay out of pocket. Give me a break with that lone of crap. Anyway he said he will get back to me but I already know it won't matter. I just held a glimmer of faith since the epa attorney advisor said she thought we are still entitled to said warranty. That's what I know today. Good luck I will post what she shares with me on a timetable👍

Not silly if your not tuned and get the recall which bricks the PCM. There are unsubstantiated reports of bricked PCM occurring on untuned trucks.

Against my desire, I took my truck in for the 67A emission recall because I am in California and would not be able to register my truck without it. Up until the update was done I have not had any powertrain issues. Following the update the check engine light came on (P20ee.) I took it back to the dealer and was told they had similar problems with other trucks following the recall. The dealer told me they are working with FCA to rectify the issue. After the dealer had the truck for a week and a half They told me I needed a new SCR and DEF injector. They also told me that FCA is claiming a "coincidence" between the recall and the CEL. I paid $4,000 for a new SCR and DEF injector. A week later the CEL comes back on throwing the same codes. Back at the dealer, they still don't know what's wrong; it's been three days now. At this point, I need to wait and see what they have to say and possibly contact an attorney but I feel strongly this is related to the 67A recall update.
The CA Air Resources board isn’t requiring the DMV to halt registration. It’s all optional. Sorry I just found this out. Hopefully you get everything working
 
What the others said, coincidence or not, the new emission warranty covers it.

For others reading this thread, Ram says your registration will be denied without the recall for those in California. The state of California says that is not true. And those that have tested without the recall have said that the recall shows up, but doesn't disqualify them from renewal.
Exactly ARB has it posted on their site that it’s all optional
 
I'm questioning why is anyone getting this "recall" done in the first place? It's not mandated to register the truck, doesn't improve anything, is causing some folks issues, and has ambiguous warranty language...F that.
I’m certainly not getting it done . I can’t understand why anyone is getting done , or got it done .

A friend of mine just bought a 2017 Laramie . We checked the vin on his , it shows incomplete on the 67a recall , I told him not to get it done .
