There are a lot of people who are curious as to how exactly FCA plans on addressing the problems affecting frame welds. Thanks to this article from Jalopnik we have a more in depth look at the process they plan on putting all 18,000 models through.

At least it looks like FCA is doing their due diligence in having this issue resolved. I don't know how it even made it through their QA testing to begin with, but at we haven't seen any accidents or deaths as a result of it. You can thank all the new particular JL owners.

They've already said that only 4% of the recalled vehicles are expected to have this issue. That means roughly 700 Wranglers have this fault, which could be isolated to a certain production batch. Let's just hope whatever repairs they make hold.

in similar situations I have never seen the value of these hold, on many communities you see folks suggesting what year models to stay away from and it impacts the demand, good thing I haven't bought. Patience sometimes pays off especially with new vehicles that little to no track record.

Even a serious flaw like this won't have a significant impact on sales. As the majority of JL owners will probably be coming from JK's, odds are they are waiting on the second gen model regardless.
