A recovery point is a part of a car which can be used to recover the vehicle if it becomes stuck (bogged).
Using non-rated parts of a vehicle to recover it can be extremely dangerous.
[1] Recovery points may be fitted by the manufacturer, or as an after-market modification.
[2] Off-roaders should be aware of where the recovery points are located on their vehicles before they require their use.
Having recovery points on both the front and back of the vehicle is preferable.
