Scarps, I have a 2003 WG and I had this link sent to me a week ago. This is the sort of thing you are talking about.
I need one for my Grand.

Hi All, just received an update from my Fantastic Jeep dealer that a solution for the WK2 Recovery Hook has been built and currently awaiting ADR approval. Suggest you email your dealer for the same update.

I also have the same information - apparently a notification went to dealers today.

This was posted on the Talking Jeep site today (22/2/12) :

Grand Cherokee Recovery Hooks And Nudge Bar 2012
Jeep Australia have informed dealers that they should have a solution for the 2012 Grand Cherokee recovery hook issue. They will be introducing a revised Nudge Bar incorporating a recovery hook and also a stand alone recovery hook. These are apparently being tested for ADR now and once approved should be available in mid April.

My source has advised me that customers will not be generally advised by Chrysler - you will have to ask your dealer. Don't take no for an answer.

At last some positive news!

Scarps - who is your fantastic dealer? I could sure use one!

I'm glad to see there has been some progress on the recovery hook situation. I lodged my complaint with Chrysler very early on, but I haven't had much communication. It's relieving to see that there should be a solution by April.

Is anybody pursuing tyres? Mine was delivered with All Season, but not All Terrain as per the brouchure. They've been even less communicative on the tyre issue. Anybody had any feedback?

mhillman - I sent a fomal letter to Chrysler on 3/2 in respect of the recovery hooks and tyres (and the lack of owners manual etc) but have not had any reply to date. I also lodged a formal complaint with Dept Fair Trading on 6/2.

While it seems that the recovery hooks is being worked on, Chrysler still havnt confirmed yet that cars will be retro fitted free of charge to my knowledge.

My situation is a bit complicated as I used a broker, but when I ordered I specifically had in writing that I would get AT tyres, notwithstanding the broucher, so Im still pursuing this too.

I've given up taliking to the dealer / Chrysler - Ill be running this through DFT / ACCC from now on.
