While a lot of people in the United States recognize the Jeep Wrangler as a reliable SUV for off-roading, not many of them know that it is also modified by the brand with a right-hand-drive setup to handle mail carrier duties in rural America.<\/p>\n

And as rare as it is, the unique model is not immune to manufacturing defects as evidenced by the company’s recent recall on right-hand-drive Jeep Wranglers.<\/p>\n

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said the driver’s seat buckle on the Wrangler could be detached from the frame after several uses. Simply put, the buckle could break after continued use.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles filed the documents with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration late in September, saying the driver’s seat buckle on the Wrangler could be detached from the frame after several uses. Simply put, the buckle could break after continued use.<\/p>\n

The company began production of the right-hand-drive Wranglers for the 2011 model year up until 2018 when Jeep introduced the 2020 Wrangler.<\/p>\n

The older generations of the mail carrier Wrangler differ from the typical Wrangler SUVs owned by most as they usually come with mounts for mail carrier lights and magnetic signs on the sides. In addition, the mail carrier type does not have a passenger seat and features very basic modifications on the interior such as the addition of plywood in place of the passenger seat to hold mail trays.<\/p>\n

The automaker has not revealed as to how many RHD Wranglers can be seen on the roads in the United States, but the official recall documents cover a total of 11,463 units. FCA, however, clarified that only 1% of the said model will have defective seat belts.<\/p>\n

Owners of the vehicles and post offices are advised to bring the SUVS to a dealership for replacement of the seat belt buckles at no cost.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
