| Description of the problem | Received notice from jeep that a recall was in effect for the airbag sensor switch located somewhere within the front bumper.. The switch maybe disconnected at time of impact and not message the air bags to deploy... The hard rock addition jeep has an access port located within the front bumper specifically for the purpose of installing a winch/winch plate... Dealership advised it would cost additional 100 dollars to repair the recall as the winch would have to be removed partially or in total... Contacted customer service / case management at jeep corp and was advised it would not cover the cost to remove the winch that it was more or less between the dealership and me.. My thoughts are that the bumper was designed by jeep to install a winch inside the bumper with top and front removable plates and that they are responsible regardless.... |
