TSB Question

[drush]

Hey all

Got my truck about 3 weeks ago and reading tons of threads on TSBs. What I’m wondering is it wise to go into the dealer and have them fix all of them or only if notice the problem?

I feel like they should all be dealt with but I don’t know a ton about how TSBs really work and what I’m supposed to do.
Appreciate any insight thanks.

It really depends on what the TSB is about, some can be fixed by type customer concern and the dealer is not required to verify if the problem exists. Others they are. The best thing to do is have the dealer checks for any applicable recalls, tsb that apply. Read the ones that apply to your vehicle in the TSB section on the forum and then if the problem surfaces you are more informed of what action to take.

Not all tsbs apply to all vehicles. Some will depend on what you build date is, which can be deciphered from the driver’s side door jamb. Other tsbs depend upon whether you are experiencing the issue and many of those they won’t do unless they can “replicate” the issue. Best thing to do is next time you have it in for service ask them to apply any open recalls, software updates, and tsbs that apply to your build.

2019 Ram 1500 Laramie (new body) the drawer below the Uconnect near floor wouldn't stay closed right from get go, dealer ordered new assembly, while replacing they checked vin and removed and flashed the unit for airbag/seatbelt tsbs. Was there for routine job and they decided to repair before I recieved notification of recall.

Yeah just allow yourself a bit of time. My Prius had a recall that took over 2 hours, I had gone in for an oil change...
