I HAVE A 2013 DODGE RAM TRADESMAN THAT WAS BUILT DEC 12, 2012. LAST 8 OF THE VIN ARE DG509430, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CODE SAYS AC BYPASS VALVE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL: RAM RECALL # N25, NHTSA COMPLAINT# 13V177000. NOW THE SERVICE DEPT AT DODGE AND THE CUSTOMER CARE CENTER SAYS MY TRUCK IS NOT ON THE RECALL.
