I doubt DC thinks they're "admitting" to anything, they're just
appeasing the NHSTA and the very few people who've spoken out.

Good luck! Last time I tried to get a recall done pre-emptively, the
dealer wouldn't talk to me about it until I had the letter from Dodge in
my hands.

On one hand, I can understand - if you're having supply chain issues,
then sending out recall letters at a pace they can be fulfilled makes
sense, rather than getting crushed by demand you can't meet. OTOH, this
is a dangerous problem, and they should be taking care of it as fast as
the trucks come in the door.
