To be honest in full Italian thinking, it is very strange after Fiat ( Marchionni CEO) and Chrysler closed the deal NHSA withdrew its request for recall. somewhere in Nhsa somebody got a bribe. I know I should not say this if I am not sure but living in Italy there is not one day that we read o hear something like that. |

I took the KJ into the dealer on Friday and they said that I had the recall but the parts were not in yet. I had to sign some paperwork. |

I didn't get a notice in the mail. I went in for a free inspection and they told me about it when I went to pick it up. The service manager made it sound like the parts would arrive on a certain date, but that could be the "anticipated" date and not the "official" date due to pending issues. |

I bought my Liberty just days before this was announced back in May of last year. I did not expect a "free" anything. I also do not think I am "out" anything if I don't get the hitch. Chrysler doesn't owe me and I'm not complaining now and won't in the future. On the other hand, it's a bit of a disappointment. A hitch was high on my list of "want to have's" and after eight months there seems to still be a lot of confusion over this. I think anyone would be a fool to run out and buy something so long as there is a possibility that they didn't need to. The letter I got two weeks ago seems to indicate that they plan to honor this. Of course, after this much time who's to say what they really have in mind.

I'm reading that a little differently. They just agreed not to have a recall. Was you letter a recall notice?. Or a advisory notice? So the way I read it no recall but yes to a inspection. But right now seems nobody knows, what will happen. |

Mine Is setting here on my desk It says on the outside of it "SAFETY RECALL NOTICE". However my opinion is if your concerned about this and a hitch is the prescribed cure - go buy one dont risk your life or your loved ones if you believe it is a true safety risk. Quite frankly if the vehicles passed the safety tests when manufactured and a government agency wants to impose additional standards then the responsibility falls on that agency not DC.

The official announcement will not be for a few weeks and they only closed it after the notices were sent out.They may or may not go ahead and do the recall but they will not be forced to.I mean it's going to cost 151 million dollars,that will be passed on to new buyers eitherway. I only got a letter stating my KJ is not part of this recall since it's flagged as excessively modified so I'm no longer able to get any recall's done for free.I can pay to have them done but why when 99.9% of them are pointless anyways. |

Got my notice today, but it says they don't have the parts. They will inform me when the parts are available. |

I got a notice from Chrysler last week that my Liberty was under recall for the gas tank and they will notify me when the part (hitch) arrived at the dealer. |

Got the same notice and called DC since I already have a hitch. They offered reimbursement if I could provide a receipt. Told 'em I had picked it up at reasonable cost and not to worry about it... |

On another forum they are reporting that dealers are looking at Grands and told to hold on for Liberties. |
