Angry 6.1L Hemi Wrist Pin Problems Looking for SN

I read in one of the service bulletins that the 6.1L Hemi had some bad wristpins on a few of the SRT8 models. Does everyone know where I can find the serial numbers of the cars that have this problem, I would need to know if mine is one of the possible cars with this issue.

You must contact the dealer from which the car was original sold as there is no "master" VIN list for affected vehicles. Each dealer has a list based on vehicles that were sold at that particular dealership.

Sorry to be so ignorant, but is this the problem RS posted a TSB about back in April? If not do you mind explaining what this is about? Thanks!

Yes, that is it. You would think DCX would contact the owners if they knew the engine numbers that have the problem.

You would think.....
Since DCX contacted the dealerships that were sold these particular vehicles did they leave it up to the dealership to contact their customers that possibly purchased one of these units? That’s a real joke for some dealerships to contact anyone. Sad but true.

I agree. Maybe RS could shed some light on why the dealers or DCX don't call the owners (or send notices). RS?

Oh, yeah...

the wrist pin is that which connects the piston to the connecting rod and provides a bearing for the connecting rod to pivot as it moves.

If you know your SN, you may want to PM ResumeSpeed or FnkyChkn. They always seem to be able to check some magic computer in the sky to see what your car is due for according to DCX. Great guys who are always more than willing to help out all the members here. I'll personally buy them both a drink should I ever have the privlege to meet them in person.
