Can You Spot Anything Wrong With This Jeep Wagoneer's Badge?

Mounting a badge on the back of a car doesn't seem tough, but Jeep had troubles with the Wagoneer. A photo shared on Twitter recently shows the back of a Jeep Wagoneer with a misaligned and angled badge. This photo was taken during a pre-delivery inspection at Stellantis' Warren Truck manufacturing factory, according to Jalopnik.
Jalopnik contacted Jeep to figure out what happened with this Wagoneer and was told it was an issue that occurred before the SUV's debut and was fixed before cars were sent to clients. “Early during the launch of the Wagoneer, Warren Truck did experience some issues with badge alignment,” a Jeep PR representative said.
"As a permanent solution, hand-applied locating fixtures, as well as machine vision systems, were installed to verify badge alignment. The plant has a robust vehicle audit process that ensures every vehicle leaving the plant reflects the premium quality of the brand,” they added.
