I WENT IN TO HAVE THE RECALL OF MY 1998 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE DONE THIS MORNING (SAFETY RECALL N45/NHTSA 13V-252 REAR STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENT), AND THE JEEP DEALER REFUSED TO INSTALL THE TRAILER HITCH PER THE RECALL SPECIFICATIONS. THEY SAID THAT IT LOOKED FINE AND PUT A STICKER ON IT AFTER MAKING ME WAIT FOR 2 HOURS. THIS, EVEN THOUGH THE AFTERMARKET HITCH THAT IS INSTALLED ON MINE IS SO CORRODED THAT THE BALL AND ATTACHMENT POINT CANNOT BE REMOVED. WHEN I REMINDED THE DEALER OF THE FACTS, AND THAT HAVING THE HITCH STICKING OUT THAT FAR FROM THE BACK EXACERBATES THE HAZARD THAT EXISTS, HE ACTUALLY SAID "THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM". SO IT APPEARS THAT ALL OF THESE DELAYS HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN CHRYSLER ACTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS INTERNAL PLAN TO CERTIFY ALL INSTALLED TRAILER HITCHES AND NOT INSTALL NEW ONES. AND IN CASES LIKE MINE WHERE THE RISK IS EXACERBATED...
