Official summary

Dodge: mil illumination or stored diagnostic trouble code (dtc) for p1004 or 02016 or 02017. This involves replacing the short runner valve (srv), srv connector, wiring pigtail, and adding a new stud for a tie strap. The srv wiring takeout was not long enough and caused excessive wear on the srv, and srv wiring connector resulting in a loose connection. Also includes model/my 2009 cab chassis (4500). *pe

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
