Hi all - I have 2020 Dodge Ram 1500 Limited. The leather dash has completely bubbled and is literally detaching from the dashboard. Im told this is not covered under warranty. I’m at 51k miles. The dealer quoted $2800 to replace it. Is there a recall on this? It’s insane I spent so much on this truck and this is happening? Please help.

VIN: 1C6RREHTXLN112361

Thank you!
DJM

Does anyone bother to search the forums to see if their issue is already has a thread and perhaps a solution??

There are at least 3 other threads on this exact issue in the last month or so.

@DJM321 Welcome to RamForum. Have a look here, there are a few tutorials for new folks. Also, there's a search window that's pretty handy up in the top right corner of your screen:

You could try running this by @RamCares to see if they can help.
I contacted Rama area about mine but have yet to see any response.

Ram has clearly not corrected the problem and makes me question if Ram really does “care”….

The bubbling dash is a well-known issue that seems to be centered around 2020 production and the Limited trimmed vehicles. I've seen posts where warranty covered the repair but that may have been on trucks that still were under the factory warranty period. You would think RAM would cover this regardless of the ODO or the three years of warranty.

RAM cares is a placebo, they have no power to get anything accomplished. If anything, they add to the timeline it takes to resolve an issue. I'm sure some folks were helped by them, but for me, they just prolonged the pain.

.... and Toyota replaced my defective dash on my 2009 Camry in 2017. Under warranty/ campaign. Go figure.

Yup! Dilatory tactics have replaced heel clicking "Yes Sir!" timely stellar service. The attitude that consumers are fungible by many businesses has really grown over the years. Yet, the consumer doesn't vote with their dollars by purchasing products and services elsewhere. This has led to arrogant, hubristic, galvanized cultures in big companies.
