| Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 2500. When the contact started the vehicle, the air bag warning indicator illuminated continuously. The failure occurred only after the vehicle was serviced per nhtsa campaign number: 15v313000 (air bags). During the installation of the recall part, the steering wheel restraint module was damaged and removed from the vehicle. The mechanic replaced the recall part a second time because the restraint module was no longer being produced by the manufacturer, but the failure persisted. The contact was concerned of a potential safety hazard due to the restraint module no longer being equipped in the vehicle, which affected the deployment of the driver's side air bag. The manufacturer was notified and stated that a salvage title could be issued. The approximate failure mileage was 205,000. |
