Ram 1500

  • 82,000 miles
A Dodge dealership has informed me that the occupant restraint control (orc) module has suddenly failed and is in need of replacement. After investigating in online forums and discussions with the local Dodge dealership there appears to be a pattern of failures associated with the orc unit in several Dodge / Chrysler models. The cost to repair is over $500 ($344 + labor) and the part is very hard to come by for older vehicles.
