What Happened
Your Jeep Wrangler's tow bar is a crucial part that helps you safely attach a trailer to your vehicle. In some 2007-2008 models, the tow bar might not be up to par and could let go while you're driving.
Risk if Unfixed
If the tow bar fails, your trailer could detach from your Wrangler, which could cause a collision, especially on the road or at high speeds.
Free Fix
Your authorized Jeep dealer will replace the tow bar with a stronger, safer one at no cost to you. You'll get a call or a letter from Chrysler with the details; just schedule the repair as soon as you can.
