Default Ever noticed that 2012's owner manual wierd front bumper??

Here's a scan of the owner manual I got with my '12 JK. It looks like there's only one crush can and the only fog light isn't where it sould be! The bumper sides go up to the fenders a little like AEV bumpers

Makes sense, since I live in Quebec (french part of Canada) we must be getting the owner manual from France.

No, got the same owners manual back in August with my 2012. Plus all the verbiage instead about servicing the 3.8L??? Yeah, they made more than one mistake with that owner manual.

Seriously? Your 2012 owners manual addresses the 3.8L servicing, please tell me Chrysler also included the servicing for 3.6L Pentastar too

Nope, they just didn't edit the manual correctly (or at all)... The most recent manual (3rd edition) is online, but I still think it has errors.

What an epic fail on Chrysler's part. Is this some crazy plan to force the owners into dealerships for any maintenance

Now I am starting to think this is just a conspiracy on Chrysler/Mopar's behalf! I sure wish Haynes would get on the ball. The Haynes manuals are absolutely the best repair books out there, always based off of a complete teardown and rebuild of the vehicle within its pages.
