Jeeps Get Hitched To Prevent Fiery Union

As we reported yesterday, Chrysler will be recalling the 2.7 million  1.56 million Jeeps being targeted by NHTSA over rear-end crashes that can lead to a fiery death. The solution; a trailer hitch out of the Mopar catalog. Both Chrysler and NHTSA get to walk away from this one without losing too much face; NHTSA appears to have compelled Chrysler to take action on the matter, while Chrysler's "voluntary" action allows it to maintain that there's nothing wrong with the vehicles, while also having the PR bonus of making them look responsible and caring in the face of a safety issue. It's likely that most of the Jeeps will pass the "visual inspection" and dealers won't need to install too many of the Mopar factory trailer hitches. And every person that comes in is a potential sales lead. After all, some of these Jeeps are 20 years old by now. Certainly time for a new Jeep, isn't it?     from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
