Description of the problem	Hole in right side valve cover. Called withnell dodge in salem and mark thomas motors in albany oregon. Both dealerships have over 60 back orders for this particular valve cover. That's over 120 back orders. If i called other dealerships i suspect they will have back orders for the same product. To me this means their is a problem with dodge pickups having problems with valve covers, which are plastic. I suspect the value cover blew a hole and this caused the engine to overheat. I am not sure if i have any other problems as a result of valve cover blowing out. I will not know until i replace the valve cover. I also think a recall should occur as a result of these numbers. I think dodge knew about this problem as they are the only one who can replace this valve cover. Parts stores like napa, do not carry this part, which means dodge dealership parts department must order this particular part. And i was told this part is not available in america, which means a foreign country is producing this part, which dodge has to order and track. So what is nhtsa going to do. Date of incident was july 2,015.
