Mopar Front Tow Bar
I have the Mopar front tow bar. I bought it about 6 months or so ago.
I just received a call from a guy with Mopar wanting information regarding the Vin # of the Jeep Wrangler that I bought the tow bar for. I don't have my Jeep with me today so I was unable to give him the info.
I questioned him regarding why he wanted the info. He advised he could not tell me right now, only that there is an investigation into these tow bars and if something comes up they need the info of the Wranglers they are going on.
Has anyone else received a call? Any thoughts or ideas for the call? If you have one of these tow bars send me a pm and I'll give you the guys # if you want it.

Does it make sense that he would want the last 8 digits of my vin but not want any of my personal info or tell me why he needed it? Other than there is an investigation and he doesn't know too much. His # is in Michigan.

Seems a little sketchy to me, but then again, anytime I get a call from someone I don't know I'm always a little cautious especially since they wouldn't tell you why they needed the information.

He called my work because that is who bought the part from the dealer. So it appears he is tracking down every part that was sold to find out what the vin # is.

A person can walk up to any car on the street and get the full VIN. There is nothing they can do with it though.
This is either market research they are conducting or it could be some sort of product recall or update.

There is nothing to be worried about by giving out the last 8 digits of a vehicle vin #. He obviously received your contact information from the factory.
