Wow, a record $105,000,000 civil fine was bad, but now FCA is facing a forced buyback of hundreds of thousands of RAM trucks, SUV's and cars. Models included in the buy-back offer are certain Ram 1500s from 2009 to 2012; the Ram 1500 Mega Cab 4 by 4 from 2008; and the Ram 2500 4 by 4, 3500 4 by 4, 4500 4 by 4, and 5500 4 by 4, all from 2008 through 2012. Also part of the offer are 2009 Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango SUVs and the Dodge Dakota pickup from 2009 through 2011. FCA has to pay the original sales price less "reasonable" depreciation, and the recalled vehicles can be sold by FCA after necessary repairs are completed. Apparently this is a huge slap in the face for dragging feet and making the recall/repair process all but impossible for owners through the past few years.

Gonna be a BUNCH of used Dodge trucks & SUV's on the dealer lots in the next six months or so....
