Other Fuel System Hoses Lines/piping, And Fittings problems of the 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee

While driving on the interstate for several hundred miles the gas tank started spraying gasoline up the back of the vehicle and it was determined that the exhaust pipe had melted a hole in the tank and caused the tank to leak. Luckily husband is mechanic and knew what to do to keep vehicle from catching fire. Gas tank and exhaust was replaced by owner before knowledge of faulty gas tank issues. Also later I received a recall to install a hitch and dealer said their were none available. Waited a year for hitch. Think it is unfair that because I was persistent and got recall fixed that my vehicle will not receive the incentives that are currently being offered. I have all documentation of replacing gas tank in 2013 and recall.
