Nhtsa recall 93e-034 and chrysler recall #605. I contacted a dodge dealer in cordele, ga and he said he was not able to get the part to fix this dangerous recall on my truck. It IS my understanding that this IS a safety recall that does not expire. I need to get this resolved. The part number I found was c3906051. This was from the old chrysler recall notice 605. I also searched mopar parts and could not find it. Surely the part IS available since this IS a safety recall. I contacted dodge customer assistance center by email and their response was:>>when it comes to getting recalls of this age completed it does depend on if the part IS still available, to attempt to locate the part you will need to work with a local fca dealership, as they are in the best position to assist. also, if you are at all concerned there IS an issue with your truck I do suggest bringing it into an authorized dealership for diagnosis, as they are factory trained to work on our vehicles.<<<< this IS a poor response. The part IS no longer made new since it was last used in 1993. However there are plenty used rebuilt ones available. I talked to two dealers and they do not have the part and are not having any luck finding. I am still in touch with the one in cordele and he IS looking for the part. fiat chrysler should be responsible not my local dealer fro resolving this. my dodge customer assistance center reference number IS: 33027978 email case number: 3572678 so far the truck IS fine but if or when the throttle breaks, the truck will run wide open and even possibly not shutdown. I need the truck fixed asap as I can't afford to keep it off the road. A new re-manufactured pump IS around $1500 plus labor so I can not afford to fix it myself and it IS not my place to since it IS a recall. thanks
