No a TSB is not a recall unfortunately. They do this to limit their repair expenditures per unit to save costs to shareholders. Would definitely go to other dealers to see if they can push a claim through for you. It apparently seems to be at the dealers discretion to submit or not. They have a specific protocol and form to submit photos etc. My dealer used my photos and instead of waiting up to 6 months for a FCA reply they approved after a couple of weeks. The warranty also covers the cost of a rental vehicle for anyone getting this done.Thank you! Does this TSB act as a recall? I called my dealership and since my 2018 has 39000 miles, they said I was out of warranty and there is nothing they can do.
Precisely - it s a way for a manufacturer to say "If someone complains about this, do this" - but it's subject to warranty coverage and if the dealer even wants to do the work.A TSB is merely a recommended procedure for repair and would not act as a recall.
Hey, Bionicrooster. To clarify, a TSB is not a recall. A TSB has certain criteria that have to met and repairs can only be made after a diagnosis by a technician.Thank you!

Thanks for tagging us here!Contact Jeep cares .
I bet if you took off the hinges youād see a bunch of corrosion under them where the bare metal is. I wouldnāt do that before you take it for a warranty claim tho. You have no choice but to get it repainted hopefully under warranty, or trade it in and walk away if you donāt wanna deal with it. Sorry this effected you too, it sucksSo I have bubbles on doors by hinges. So what can be done with that. New hinges wonāt fix that.
I actually just had my oem hinges sandblasted and powder coated. I still am using fluid film on the bare metal under the hinges on the doors and for the tailgate and hood hinges . Hereās how they lookHas anyone tried to sandblast and powdercoat the entire door / hinges / hood / tailgate?
My doors and hood are too late to save. My paint is starting to flake now around the hinges in the hood. I can see underneath the paint.I actually just had my oem hinges sandblasted and powder coated.

That sucks man, sorry to hear that. Iām sure sandblasting and powder coating would be a great way to fix it if thatās something youād consider. Idk how youād match it to the rest of the body panels tho. It cost me $40 to have my 8 hinges done. I did this in hopes I wouldnāt have to deal with a warranty claim with a half assed respray jobMy doors and hood are too late to save. My paint is starting to flake now around the hinges in the hood.

At this point. I'm debating whether to keep it or just get rid of it. Too many warranty claims and recalls. I just noticed my camshaft sensor is also leaking a ton of oil. Probably just an Oring. Out of 20+ vehicles I've owned from motorcycles to cars. This one has had the most issues in the two years I've owned it. The Jeep is so much fun. I keep trying to convince myself to keep it. Kinda sad actually that Jeep really doesn't care.That sucks man, sorry to hear that. Iām sure sandblasting and powder coating would be a great way to fix it if thatās something youād consider.

Yeah that is sad to hear, Iād be disgusted too. I told myself the only way Iām getting rid of this Jeep is if it develops corrosion issues. To me thatās something that just completely ruins the body, even if itās resprayed itās not the same. I donāt blame you for thinking about trading it.
