Jeep trailer hitch assembly may have been attached with only a single fastener per side, not three per side as required.
The short version
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) reported a problem with the trailer hitches. Here is what owners need to know.
The trailer hitch assembly may have been attached with only a single fastener per side, not three per side as required.
Without the proper amount of fasteners, the trailer hitch assembly may separate from the vehicle, and any towed vehicle may no longer be properly connected, increasing the risk of a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will install two additional fasteners per side, free of charge.
