I RECEIVED A INTERIM RECALL NOTICE IN SEPTEMBER 2020 #20V-404 AND HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE WITH THIS CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THE CAMPAIGN HAD BEEN SUSPENDED. THE RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHTS AND BLINKER DO NOT WORK DUE TO A DAMAGED (PDM) POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE. HOW DOES THIS HUGE SAFETY ISSUE CONTINUE WITH NO SUPPORT AFTER 5 MONTHS? CAN YOU PLEASE TELL WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS RECALL. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE RECALL #20V-529 REPAIRED AT MY LOCAL TIRE STORE AS THE VALVE STEM WAS NEARLY CUT OFF AND HAVE YET TO BE REIMBURSED BY DAIMLER TRUCKS NORTH AMERICA LLC.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
