Speaker 2 (00:41):
Thank you Mark for having me. I appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
So this is pretty exciting news, isn't it.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
Yes, this is a great opportunity for not only Commings,
but for the customer.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Right, so the customer.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
If you own a twenty thirteen to twenty eighteen RAM
twenty five hundred to thirty five hundred pickup truck, you
have a have an opportunity to earn five hundred and
two thousand dollars rebate plus an extended warranty.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Wow, that's pretty amazing. Now is this an important recall?

Speaker 1 (01:15):
I mean, is this safety reason?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
It is an emissions recall, and so it is important.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
It's important for the environment, important for Cummings and important
for the consumer, and and it's it's really simple. It
takes less than an hour. It's just a software update,
so it's no parts are changed, and it's quick and
easy for the customer.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Gosh, it's almost like you could do it on your phone.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
Huh, I wish we could do that.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Mark, So what do truck owners need to do?

Speaker 4 (01:54):
So it's it's it's relatively simple. There's there's two two
paths a customer can go. You can visit Cummins recall
dot com and you can look up your vin your
vehicle identification number to see if it is applicable to.

Speaker 2 (02:10):
This this recall.

Speaker 4 (02:12):
Or they can go and call their local Chrysler, Dots,
Jeep Ram dealer and give them the VN and they
can look it up for them as well.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
We have a brand new one, well brand new one.
You've been here for I don't know thirty years. They
closed and then they reopened, so we have one here
in the Ventura County area. If people are listening for that.
You said it only takes an hour, which is pretty cool,

(02:47):
so that you drive in and basically drive out.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, it's it's it's really quick, really simple. You could
schedule to get this done on your lunch break and
earn five hundred dollars pretty quick, or you can if
you do it between now and the end of March,
you can get up to one thousand dollars to get
this complete completed.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Wow, I know that. When I'm on location.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
One of my crew who brings lights and cameras and
all that stuff, he has I think he has two,
So I gotta let him know about this. Who's eligible
for this? Which trucks You've already mentioned them, but let's reiterate.

Speaker 4 (03:34):
Yes, it's model years twenty thirteen to twenty eighteen RAM
twenty five hundred thirty five hundred pickup trucks, and again
you can check to see if you own a truck
in that range. You can go to Cummins Recall dot
com and check to see if your vin is applicable

(03:56):
for this campaign.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
It's that simple.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
It's that simple.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
How does the extended warranty work?

Speaker 3 (04:05):
I mean, I know on my car, I've got you know,
there's three years yep.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
So once you great question mark, once you go in
and you get the recall completed, you will get an
incremental four year forty eight thousand mile warranty on those
emissions components on your truck, and so it's your vehicle
identification number gets registered and you have that coverage for

(04:33):
another four years forty eight thousand miles.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Even if you've got two years into the into the warranty.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yes, so it does take the greater amount of a warranty.
So you have a base warranty on your vehicle of
ten years, one hundred and twenty thousand miles. But let's
say you only have two years left of that warrant,
you will be able to take the longer duration, which
is the four years forty eight thousand miles, which is

(05:08):
incremental to what to the ten year one hundred could
be incremental to that ten year base warranty.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Hey, before we go, and.
