What owners wrote
2004 dodge ram 2500-vehicle is a single cab and is front heavy. Vehicle was going 40 MPH and flipped end over end and no air bags deployed.
Vehicle was inspected on 3/2/2020. At the bottom of inspection statement was a recall advisory notice. I submitted info. On website, but I've received no response. Today the airbag light has come on the dash and it remains on. What do you want me to do at no charge to me. Is this a recall??
