When installing the quake led fender lights on my month old 22' I noticed that the passenger side was missing two of the three fender liner screws and BOTH fender support screws. The fender still feels pretty secure and I am wondering if I should let the dealer know or not. It isn't causing any issues and I can probably order the bolts easy enough and install them myself. It does make one worry what else was "left off".

What would you all do?

Dude this is nightmare fuel, lol. I think I would request a re-inspection if you're close enough to the dealer. But I mean otherwise yeah I think I'd fix it myself. I think there is comfort in the fact that the fender dude didn't build the whole jeep, lol.

My dealer is 10 minutes away so not a big deal. Agree with it not likely being an issue elsewhere on the truck but it does beg the question, how did that pass QC? Having worked in automotive manufacturing as a Quality Engineer I find it hard to believe they don't have gun torque of each bolt tied in to a QC system. I may just call the dealership next week and see what they think.

Oh well, I love the truck anyway.

I doubt that it is a QC issue. Dealership probably swapped out the aux battery and didn't reinstall all hardware.
