Just got it done today and the mechanic was cool and gave me the info so I figured I would pass it on. Turns out the file size is too big, I can tell you that 5 out of the 19 were a little bit loose.

Just got my recall notice today:
Would like to know what bolts are being re-torqued!!!!
I don't trust my dealer at all.......they would use an air wrench and probably cause more problems.....
Anyone have this done yet, or have the repair procedure from Chrysler that they can post?????

Got my recall on Tuesday, got an appointment today. They did a 3k mile fluid change and axle fastener torque in 1 hour. If it was due to changing paint specifications, that is usually a cost cutting procedure unless the paint manufacturer went out of business. Gotta pay for those summer homes.

My Jeep wasn't part of the recall but I went ahead and paid $84 to have it performed. Just wanted to have a dealer receipt saying on this date everything was right and tight. Figured it might help if I should end up with a pair of wallowed out trackbar holes. May have thrown $84 away but...

Auto Companies should upgrade their quality on parts, instead of management pocketing the money , with their high standard of living. Most of the time it isn't a UAW worker.
