Possible Recall 2002-2007?

[profdlp]

When I was in Vietnam, in the US Army, enlisted personnel sometimes got poop duty (we called it s___ burning detail)...

...I'm not an expert at such things though, so take it for what it's worth.

I don't know. Sounds to me like you know your s_ _ t. :gr_grin:

Am I right in thinking this only effects gas powered KJ's, not diesel powered ones? If so, then I need not worry in my CRD. :emoticondancer:

Usually, the front end is sway bar bushings.

Here’s one of them in action rear lower control arms in Salt Belt. Failed completely 60 miles later on the way to the dealership for free recall replacement.

Considering I've been rear ended at some levels 6 times (2 while towing a trailer, and one vs a F350 farm super duty. The 6 bolt hitch apparently counts for something, as the only damage from the F350 to the actual vehicle was where the spare tire pushed in.

They refuse to do a recall at the NHTSA's request:
Chrysler Says No To Government Recall Request « CBS Detroit

I bought a kj about 4 years ago with less than 70000 miles on it off of ebay motors. The vehicle was in fla, i live in az carfax showed an open recall at the time for a trailer hitch install due to gas tank fires on rear end collisions. Seller had the hitch installed before I picked up the jeep. Is that the reason Chrysler is stating all is ok. Does DOT not know what they have done in the past or am I out of touch??

Both of my Jeeps have nice modern towbar thanks to the recall, not entirely sure why as they are both diesel so very hard to light!

You really thought the author of the recall notice knew there was a diesel.

We received the recall notice several years ago. On following up with it, the dealer actually refused to install the fix (a new receiver hitch) because they deemed the existing hitch as sufficient.

I've had several vehicles with rear fuel tanks over the years. Never concerned me.

I am surprised that many of our KJ's dont have ABS and there hasnt been a recall for it. (I am content to not have ABS actually.)
