Quality Control - Can't Help but Laugh

[I Love Grits]

@96Dodge4x4 updated the forum with a TSB released yesterday (see thread here: Directory of Service Bulletins & Recalls - Ram 1500) that involves the rear seat trim.

I can be a perfectionist at times but am actively working on trying to be more accepting of flaws in work done by both myself and others. There are some things about my build that are less than satisfactory to me but I've been able to shrug them off easily enough reminding myself that people designed/built them and it cannot be truly perfect.

But this latest TSB is just too good.




Taillights that have some cracks from the molding process - OK I can see how that might slip by if you're breezing over the truck.

Instrument clusters having uneven lighting - I didn't notice on mine until I looked at it closer/intentionally looking for it. I'll give you a pass there.

But having two different seat trims less than 2 feet apart with one of them being the loudest/in your face filegree known to man? Come on QC department. Can't do anything on this one but roll your eyes and laugh.

I must agree, the other stuff you listed could be overlooked and passed, but holly cow how does one miss this. Seems a few people on the way out the door should have been able to catch that.

I almost blew coffee out my nose when I zoomed in on the TSB

That used to happen with the 4th gens as well

Wow , I was going to say that's hard to miss but it's really not. Maybe someone messed up and put a 12" screen in my Bighorn? I'd forgive it.

Yea maybe the person had a great time the night before and signed off on it quick. Lol
That or didn't want to "Rat" out the team that made the mistake....

Sort of like the splash guards 1/2 a upgrade.

Actually, aren’t the seat wrapped in plastic? If so, it might be a bit tough to check it
