Ok guys and gals, we need to be serious with what OP found, because…. I had to check for myself on the same tag on my door jam and I’m having the same problem! In fact the letters placed in the typewriter weren’t set in proper. Look at the word “ORIGINAL” and “PRESSURE”.
The spacing is off, like the one setting the keys forgot how too.

We’ve got letters that are spaced perfect and others too far apart and others clambering on each other and then there’s words I can’t even read or understand.

I hadn’t noticed this and if it wasn’t for the OP, I never would have caught it.

knit picking here but is jeeps quality control really this bad ? If they can’t get little things right what about the bigger things. Look at the beginning of tire tag info And the top of the tag. Looks like they were running out of ink. Vin tag is the same way. The closer you look the more you find. Don’t get me wrong I love this Jeep , just hope it lasts a while for almost $60,000

I understand where you're coming from, but keeps in mind that majority Jeep's owners are like a cult. They will cancel you for pointing out any defects as it's just a Jeep thing. Imo, this is why Jeep will never going to be considered as great vehicles. Is like telling your wife that her cooking tastes great, but in reality it's like shit and you will have to eats them as long you're still with her. Sometimes, we got to keeping real for something to become great.

The pettiest thing I've ever heard someone bitch about regarding their Jeep is the seat recline strap. They were going on and on about how stupid it was and how it touched their leg while they were driving and how they were just going to set their seat into one position and cut it off so they never have to deal with it again. Yes, all that rage over a strap. That person was easily the pettiest Jeeper I've seen to date.

Until today, that is. Well done, knit hwit.
My strap gets wedged against the back of the seat by the seat belt.

Yes, and I have to pull the strap out from the seat belt to give the seat back a bit of slant as my wife drives it with the seat back in the totally upright, 90 degree position. Man, I feel like I'm being shoved forward when I get in.

Still trying to figure out how to make that strap touch my legs, though.

Somewhere along the line, people took a wrong turn it was clearly a nit picking and then it became nit noise. I wonder what would be said if the sticker was in another language? Oh well, you can please some of the people some of the time,...you know the rest

Just peel it off problem solved.
Not referring to the OP's sticker photo, but my own - in my photo, I had to peel off the UAW sticker as that's exactly where the power steps magnetic switch needed to mount.
Sorry, UAW; Sorry, Dad - it had to go. (latter comment because he was president of his local for a while and as a head inspector, he was proud of their work.)

I can see the quality and pride in there. I won’t step up to argue.
Funny how all I had to do was post the photo and not make a single comment in that post LOL
