Are there any other tow bars that fit with a LRA auxiliary fuel tank?

There was a separate amount for tow bar on my invoice.

If not on yours ask your dealer for one.

Cheers

That’s the problem, I didn’t pay for it.
I negotiated a number of accessories for free so how do they value that if it needs reimbursing and I have to buy an aftermarket towbar?

By the way, is there a way to check vin numbers online against models that need the towbar replaced? I haven’t received a letter but I don’t trust FCA, or lost in the mail.

It's usually still detailed on the invoice, with discount shown further down.

My Invoice has it .... and have elected to get the Hayman Reese installed, as the Mopar fix doesn't seem to be close at all. Could have done the Nord-Lock washers, but I don't want any insurance issues with the bar technically being under recall regardless of my own fix.

Booked in ... so stress free for towing come 2 weeks.

Is there somewhere it actually shows the model recall on the internet? Because I cannot find it. Also, did everyone receive a letter in the post, an email etc ?

Yes you can find it on the Product Safety website. I got two letters as the first didn’t have the Trailhawk shown on and they sent an updated one. I also got it by email originally as well.
