Exhaust manifold recall

[boomtastic]

81k and I just found 2 broken studs on the passenger's side of my 2019 Limited. I'll just add that to the list of issues (tea kettle whistle, dash coming apart, driver's power window acts up) with this truck ....

Anyways, following just for updated part numbers since this is going to come out of my pocket anyways.

Just adding to the mix here. 2019. 51k miles. Dealer diagnosed and put in an order for the manifold kit. No indication of time -- it's on indefinite backorder.

I would go this route but I believe it is not emissions legal where I live.

I'm still waiting for the recall to come out, so many were informed about it.

Oh right, you live in the same stupid state I do.

Saw it on the BBK website, not CA legal...not that I care, won't need to get a smog check until 2027

Update: Dealer contacted me yesterday -- they got the parts. So on July 11, they told me indefinite backorder, then they get the parts on the 13th. Whatever works I guess. So now we will see how long this lasts.

Shoutout to @RamCares for answering my DM, even though I did not put in the request with them.

Gotta love the 8 year new car exemption. Just need to sell it beforehand.

I called FCA today and spoke with the recall department. They said there are no recalls for the manifolds at this time. There is a new design available but if you don't have existing warranty, like my 2019 does not, then you will pay for it. I'm thinking this will be a TSB only since FCA is notoriously cheap.

Generally recalls are only done for problems that may cause a safety issue.

They also issue recalls for emission systems.

Is the new design available to owners now? I have a warranty and want to get mine done if it is .

You have the new design. Just wait fir the crack to happen and get it fixed then.

Since the BBK Shorty's are on backorder as well, does anyone know the cost and wait times on the updated OEM manifolds?

I've got a small leak on the passenger side that I've been tolerating but I'm getting through enough outstanding projects that it's finally hitting my top ten list.

Both of mine are cracked, sill under warranty, and my dealer quoted 2 months to get them in.

UPDATE: Mine went to dealer yesterday for replacement. It has taken 9 weeks for the dealer to get the parts and get it scheduled. The time frame is not their fault at all.

Which side is most prone to cracking? My passenger side also just cracked on my 2020 still under powertrain warranty. I see lots of people with passenger but not as many with drivers side. Also waiting on parts.

I guess exhaust fumes getting into the cab aren't a safety issue

Dumb question…..how do you know or think you might have a problem with the manifold or the bolts?
