I JUST WENT INTO THE DEALER FOR RECALL N46. (INSTALL TRAILER HITCH DUE TO POSSIBLE GAS TANK FIRE) IN THE RECALL LETTER CHRYSLER CALLS IT AN OEM TRAILER HITCH. AFTER THE WORK IS DONE I TRY TO FIND OUT THE RATING CLASS OF THE HITCH, BUT NO ONE KNOWS. I CALL CHRYSLER RECALL ASSISTANCE CENTER AND I AM TOLD THAT IT IS A FRAME REINFORCEMENT AND NOT A TRAILER HITCH. IT CAN NOT BE USED FOR TOWING ANYTHING. ALTHOUGH IT HAS THE LOOK OF A TRAILER HITCH. BECAUSE IT IS BEING CALLED A TRAILER HITCH AND IT LOOKS LIKE ONE I AM CONCERNED FOR THE FOLLOWING: *NEITHER CHRYSLER NOR THE DEALER ARE INFORMING THE CUSTOMER, WHAT ABOUT THE CUSTOMER THAT JUST RUNS OUT AND BUYS A TONGUE AND BALL AND STARTS USING IT TO TOW? *RECALL STATES THAT IF YOU HAVE A NON OEM HITCH IT WILL BE INSPECTED AND IF IT HAS PUNCTURES OR SHARP EDGES IT WILL BE REPLACED WITH THE NEW OEM HITCH. NOW YOU HAVE A PERSON WHO HAD A FUNCTIONAL TRAILER HITCH FOR YEARS AND REPLACING IT WITH A NON FUNCTIONING "TRAILER HITCH" AND NOT TELLING THEM. IF I HAD A WORKING TRAILER HITCH FOR YEARS THAT I USE REGULARLY AND YOU REPLACED IT WITH A NON FUNCTIONING ONE I WOULD BE REALLY TICKED OFF. BECAUSE OF THE EXAMPLES LISTED ABOVE (AND THERE ARE OTHERS) I BELIEVE THIS RECALL COULD CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS, DAMAGES,ETC THAN THE PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANKS TO BEGIN WITH. *THEY NEED TO STOP CALLING IT A TRAILER HITCH. *EVERY CUSTOMER HAVING TO HAVE THIS DONE NEEDS TO BE INFORMED THAT IT IS NOT A REAL TRAILER HITCH AND THEY CAN NOT TOW WITH IT. *THE CHRYSLER RECALL NOTICE ALSO STATES "CHRYSLER RECOMMENDS YOU REMOVE THE BALL AND BALL MOUNT WHENEVER YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT ACTUALLY IN USE OF TOWING". THAT IS ALSO MISLEADING (GIVING IMPRESSION THAT IT IS A TRAILER HITCH) AND WHY IS IT EVEN IN THERE AT ALL. *TR

CHRYSLER INSTALLED A TOW HITCH A PART OF RECALL N46, BUT ARE ADVISING OWNERS THAT THE TOW HITCH DOES NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT STRENGTH FOR ANY TOWING. IF IT IS NOT STURDY ENOUGH FOR TOWING, HOW CAN IT BE STURDY ENOUGH TO PROTECT THE GAS TANK? IS IT NOW A PROJECTILE TO PUNCTURE THE TANK? IS CHRYSLER INSTALLING SUB-STANDARD HITCHES, WHICH FUTURE OWNERS MAY USE? CHRYSLER WHEN CONTACTED INDICATED A WARNING STICKER NOT TO TOW IS INCLUDED, HOWEVER, THE STICKER READS "CHRYSLER RECOMMENDS YOU REMOVE THE BALL & BALL MOUNT WHENEVER YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT ACTUALLY IN USE OF TOWING" ALSO NO WIRING IS INSTALLED WITH HITCH WHICH MAY LEAD SOME TO TOW WITHOUT PROPER LIGHTS. HAVE THEY HAVE CREATED ANOTHER SAFETY HAZARD WHILE TRYING TO CORRECT THE OTHER? *TR
