Current update..... my jeep is currently sitting at the local Jeep dealership waiting further inspection. Apparently the vehicle has been previously looked at/fixed under the recall (Jeep recall #723). The dealer now needs to talk to Jeep and find out whether they can do the repairs under this same recall. My thoughts are.... If it was "fixed" in the first place then it wouldnt have broken again.... as it has broken, maybe it wasnt "fixed" the first time around.
I have also spoken to customer service at Jeep Australia, who were very helpful in explaining there was two parts to the recall fix. 1) Inspection of chassis showing no cracks, then a strengthening weld was to be done. 2) if cracks were visable in the chassis then plates to be welded to chassis for strengthening.
They also mentioned that there is no expiry on the recall.
It will be interesting to hear what the dealership has to tell me early next week.
