Chrysler Group LLC (Chrysler) is recalling certain model year 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty vehicles. The fuel tanks in these vehicles are at risk of failure and leakage in certain rear impacts.

If so, Chrysler will replace the tow hitch with a Chrysler designed tow hitch free of charge, provided the condition of the vehicle can support proper installation. On vehicles already equipped with a Chrysler designed tow hitch, Chrysler will inspect the area around the tow hitch installation, and if any installation issues are identified, they will be repaired free of charge. The recall began on August 1, 2014. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign numbers are N45 (for the Grand Cherokee vehicles) and N46 (for the Liberty vehicles).

THE JEEP DEALER INSTALLED A FLIMSY TRAILER HITCH THAT EXPOSES THE TANK EVEN MORE THAN THE AFTER MARKET HITCH I REMOVED TO GET THE JEEP DEALERS FIX.

THEY SHOULD INSTALL A STRONGER TANK ALONG WITH A VERY STRONG SKID PLATE THAT BENDS UP BEHIND THE TANK TO ADD TO PROTECTING THE TANK. ALONG WITH A MUCH STRONGER HITCH.

DATING BACK TO 2 YEARS AGO, I HAD A JEEP DEALER CHECK THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR A "FLUTTERY" NOISE, WHICH I THOUGHT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXHAUST LEAK. IT WAS CHECKED AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED UNDER EMISSIONS WARRANTY. FOUR MONTHS LATER I TOOK THE JEEP BACK DUE THE PROBLEM NEVER HAVING BEEN FIXED. THE DEALER CHECKED IT OUT AND TIGHTENED THE EXHAUST CLAMPS. THIS MADE NO DIFFERENCE, BUT I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING IS NORMAL AND TOOK THE FLUTTERY NOISE AS THE "NORMAL" ENGINE/EXHAUST NOISE JEEP MAKES. RECENTLY I TOOK MY JEEP TO HAVE VARIOUS FLUID LEAKS REPAIRED ($500 WORTH) AT MY COST, AT WHICH TIME THE DEALER NOTIFIED ME THAT MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS CRACKED AND WOULD COST $1,000 (EST.) TO REPAIR. I WAS TOLD THAT NO WARRANTY WOULD COVER IT AND SINCE I HAD CLOSE TO 90,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE I DIDN'T HAVE OPTIONS TO HAVE JEEP TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE NOISE I HAVE BEEN HEARING ALL ALONG HAS BEEN A CRACKED MANIFOLD, SO THE PROBLEM FIRST MANIFESTED ITSELF WHEN MY VEHICLE HAD 52,000 MILES. THIS JUST DOES NOT SEEM WHAT ONE SHOULD EXPECT FROM A VEHICLE AT 52,000 MILES. I AM LOOKING TO FIND OUT IF THERE HAVE BEEN MANY OTHER SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND WHAT MY RECOURSE OPTIONS ARE.
