In owners' own words
The contact owns a 2022 Ram 2500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V060000 (Electrical System) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect. Electrical system
After shifting into reverse the infotainment screen sets brightness to full which at night is blinding and causes eyesight visibility to be extremely low when looking at other views to back up like the mirrors or outside the window. This increases the risk of hitting something or someone when in reverse. Instead, the infotainment screen brightness should not change. Specifically during night time. Electrical system
The radio screen will cut out and turn black randomly but will continue playing music. When this occurs, the screen will not turn back on even if the truck is put in reverse. This is a serious safety concern since the back up camera is inoperative. This has happened three separate times in the past month, and I have video of two instances that was provided to the dealership. Electrical system
