Rear Quarter Panel Cracking

Did this happen just after that bumper install? I would check to make sure it was put on correctly. If all good check the inside welds. Did this happen overnight or over a long period of time?

But I don't think you have a case with Chrysler with a rear end modification / nor Warn either They sell these bumpers as off road parts for off road vehicles and that is up to you if you chose to turn the vehicle from stock to off road . just my take on it . Looks like you modded to soon if you want the warranty to stand up . Hope you get help on it but will be interesting to see who eats the cost . Maybe you backed into something and insurance will have to pay
looks modified all over to me, / lifted / bumpers/ ... nice looking though
the crack is opening from top down so it almost looks like a weight issue on the weld
Best wishes on a fix! btw : Some times they go for repair if they fall off the truck and still new . 14 miles means nothing
and they don't even have to say it was in accident either ( way back in time I bought a truck new , and found out it was hit in tailgait no miles on it . waxed it and the wax stained the paint due to improper paint job they repainted a new one but

On another note, I have ripped up the carpet. Nothing is noticeable from inside the tub. I think I need to remove the tail light to get any additional information. The weld seam break, seems to be, in the air gap where the tail light sits.
That said, if Jeep sold this vehicle as new, after a repair was performed. That is fraud. Any attorney could win that argument with their eyes closed. I will seek legal representation, if that is the case.

I just noticed it. Not sure how long the problem has existed and whether it cracked and stopped, or if the problem is getting worse and worse each day.

it would have me kinda freaked out
if I saw mine opening like that ! I totally understand your concern on solution or will it just do it again . Just saying if Chrysler wants to they could point finger at your mods
