Recovery Points
Recovery points are strong rated attachment points on a vehicle’s chassis used to pull it out when stuck.
What is Recovery Points?
They are stronger than ordinary tie-down hooks. Many off-road vehicles have them front and rear. Aftermarket points must be fitted to the chassis properly. Many SUVs have only towing eyes, which are not meant for heavy recovery.
How it works
They transfer recovery forces directly into the vehicle’s strong structure.
Why it matters for your car
Never use a tow ball for kinetic recovery; it can break off and become a projectile. Check the rating against the recovery gear you use.
