Back over prevention: sensing system: camera

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Dodge Durango, 2021-2023 Chrysler Pacifica, Jeep Grand Cherokee L, 2022 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500, Chrysler Voyager, 2022-2023 Jeep Compass, Grand Cherokee, Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, and Ram Promaster vehicles. The radio software may prevent the rearview image from displaying. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

A rearview camera image that does not display decreases the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

Electrical system: instrument cluster/panel

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Jeep Compass vehicles. The brightness level of the instrument panel cluster (IPC) may not be adjustable due to incorrect software in the body control module (BCM). As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 101, "Control and Displays."

An IPC display that is not bright enough may not clearly show critical safety information, such as the speedometer or warning lights, increasing the risk of a crash.

Electrical system: instrument cluster/panel

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Jeep Compass vehicles. The instrument panel center cluster display may be insufficiently illuminated and may not appear visible during daytime driving conditions. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 101, "Control and Displays."

An instrument panel display that is not visible to the driver may result in the inability to see safety-critical information, such as the fuel gauge and warning lights, increasing the risk of a crash.

22V248000 2022-04-14
Seats:front assembly:head restraint

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2022 Jeep Compass vehicles. The front seat head restraints were not welded properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 202, "Head Restraints."

Improperly welded head restraints can result in an increased risk of injury to seat occupants during a crash.

In owners’ own words

Collision avoidance mileage not reported 9 mo in service
Shuts off at random and you have to go back into the system setting to turn back on. Has happened twice in the two weeks I have had the vehicle.
Collision avoidance mileage not reported 10 mo in service
This is how multiple times this has occurred and the second time I’m reporting this. I entered my vehicle and started the engine. I needed to use GPS to reach my destination, so I was sitting in park while getting everything the address inputted. For no apparent reason I start getting messages: AEB limited Functionality Service Required, I do not have the active lane management functionality either, Service Headlights, Service automatic window wipers etc. I eventually can get these settings to go away by manually turning them on but not this time.
