A lot of lawyer speak for what boils down to: "Made a jack at the Fischer Price factory to save costs, will now make jacks out of metal".
To date 80k Trailblazers have been made and 77k of those had the plastic jack. I feel special being one of only 3k Trailblazers to get the metal jack. It's still a mystery as to why GM switched jacks, but clearly it was a bad decision, lol.

My dealer in eastern PA had a shipment of replacement jacks last week. I stopped by and had a new steel jack in about 10 minutes.
Call the dealer parts department to see if they have them. You could be waiting a long time to get a invitation from GM to get the jack replaced.
The new metal jack was much better constructed than the mostly plastic jack.
The first time I paid any attention to the plastic jack was when I exchanged it at the dealer. I was shocked how flimsy and cheaply it was made.

My son works at the Chevy dealership a few towns over, I went to have lunch with him and asked one of the gals in the service shop about the jacks. She told me they just got them and she got the jack for me.
