1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to complete rear structure reinforcement recall notice. Recall # 13V252000. MA 09/22 updated 01/04/16.
My issues relates to existing recall # N45/ NHTSA 13V-252. The recall indicates that vehicles without a hitch will have a hitch installed by the dealer or if a hitch was installed after the vehicle was sold then Chrysler will provide reimbursement for the cost. My question is...what about the original owners that purchased the vehicle with the hitch as original equipment? why are they (we) excluded from any reimbursement" why were we not considered in the recall evaluation" I have contacted Chrysler and have been given the typical corporate runaround blaming their inability to offer reimbursement on the NHTSA recall notice. Looks like the balls in your court.

I received a safety recall notice # N45/NHTSA 13V-252. This notice explains that the fuel tank on my vehicle has a chance of experiencing a fuel leak during certain types of rear end collisions. Chrysler is supposed to inspect my vehicle and install an original equipment manufacturer (oem) trailer hitch where appropriate, free of charge ( parts and labor ). my car does not have a trailer hitch so this needs to be done. I have called the local Chrysler dealer in my area - rockland Chrysler Jeep on route 304 in nanuet, New York 10954 - several times. First call when I received the recall notice - several months ago, I was told that there is nothing for me to do at this time, someone would contact me. No one ever did. I called the Chrysler group recall assistance center at 1 800 853 1403; I gave them my vehicle identification number and asked for an update on the recall as I was concerned about the safety hazard to me and my family. I was told that my information was noted and I should be hearing from the local Chrysler dealer. I am still waiting. Several weeks passed, no one from the local dealer or Chrysler Corp. Contacted me. I called rockland Chrysler and made an appointment for my car to be inspected by their technicians. I further requested that the safety concern noted in this recall be documented by rockland Chrysler. I was told I would have to leave the car with them for several hours because the inspection was somewhat involved. Two days before my appointment, rockland Chrysler called and told me they had to cancel my appointment because the parts were on back order. I asked for an E T a on the parts, was told they did not know - "back ordered". my complaint is that there is an unresolved serious safety defect that needs to be addressed now. Chrysler Corp. Seems to be trying to avoid any involvement.

The fuel tank has two structural straps to ensure the tank is safely attached to the frame. Assuming both straps are fabricated to the same specifications both should be in, more or less, the same condition as they are located next to each and experience the same level of wear and tear. My vehicle has one strap that is in fine condition. The second strap has rusted through and no longer provides the designed support for the fuel tank. Chrysler's position is this is due to wear and tear and refused to acknowledge the disparity between the condition of each strap. Chrysler has had issues with these straps. I believe it can be reasonably assumed that Chrysler is culpable and should replace the deteriorated strap at their cost given the risk associated with the condition. I respectfully request that the safety board present my case to Chrysler to make me whole.

I have been advised years ago of a recall N45/NHTSA 13V-252 on this vehicle. The dealership continually advises that they do not have the parts. How can they not have parts for a trailer hitch, and how could it take years to get those parts? I believe they are simply hoping the consumer gives up on getting these done on an older vehicle.
