Description of the problem	The forward 'k' frame that supports the engine and lower suspension has to a point that it is no longer safe. I can use a small hammer and knock holes in it. I have never seen anything like this, but when i started looking around it appears that many other have the same issue. It appears that this was covered in a 2007 recall, but not the 2008. I reported this the day i found it while doing maintenance on my son-in-law's jeep.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
