On another forum (non-Jeep) a report from a guy who's due to pick up his new GC in a couple of weeks time - The dealer has told him the OEM towbar can't be fitted due to a recall released only yesterday 22/3. No one seems able to find any written evidence or notifications about the towbar recall but the dealer is evidently adamant and is quoted as saying about 220 GC's are affected nationally, and they shouldn't be towing.
This particular guy is having the dealer fit a HR bar instead. If you have a '17 with "factory" bar it's worth looking into....

I have a May 2017 build with factory tow bar.
My dealer has no information on this recall so I called the Jeep customer service hotline, 1300 133079, be prepared to wait but they told me there was no recall on my vehicle. She did say there was some information on a recall for towbars on 2017 models but so far mine isn’t listed for recall. That may change in the next few days she suggested and wouldnt divulge any more details to me at this stage.
They will send a letter to affected vehicles by post.
