Default 5 yr inspection for life-time warranty?

I keep seeing things about a 5 year drive train inspection. I bought my jeep used, is that only for original owners? I was never told about it from the dealer I bought it from.

Yes, this only applies if you are the original owner. The lifetime powertrain warranty that Chrysler offered on new mid-2007 through 2009 Jeeps does not transfer.

yes, original owners only.

The five yr that is being discussed is for 2007-09's only. Its a transmission inspection and only a visual check.

Not just the transmission. They look at the entire drivetrain.
That's all in the past now, unless someone bought a very late hold-over.
