Has anyone been affected by a recall on the tow capacity decal? Apparently my Grenadier arrived with a tow capacity decal that states 3500lbs not 3500kg. As a result, they can't release the vehicle to me since it's an open recall. They have to wait to receive a corrected decal from Ineos. I don't understand this because 3500lbs is incorrect in the RIGHT direction, lower than the true 7700lbs towing capacity. Thoughts???

Towing too less load leads to two drives instead of one. That also means an increase in pollution.

That's why...

America did convert to metric they just didn't make it compulsory.
In fact the 2 liter (should be litre obviously) soda bottle was invented in the US.

Inch is defined as 25.4mm. So in a way we are metric

We have to keep in mind that while the US is using Imperial units of measure they don't always use the same units as real Imperial.

This explains it very clearly

Some people get choked up over Saving Private Ryan, but this is what does it for me. If only we had that kind of leadership today. Truly inspiring.

Bump for visibility. Curious if anyone else has insight on this recall.

I don't believe this to be an actual recall, as if there was a recall there would be a NHTSA filing for it.

It is absolutely possible that they left with the wrong sticker, and thus are being held at port or the dealer prior to sale

I couldn't find anything elsewhere either. In fact, most of my searches only pull up this thread.
