Jeep has issued a pair of separate recalls in the United States impacting more than 340,000 vehicles, both of which relate to interior technologies that will need to be fixed by dealerships.
The most expansive of the two recalls impacts 181,999 Jeep Compass models built for the 2022 and 2023 model years between February 17, 2021, and July 26, 2023. In this case, Jeep says they may have been built with an incorrectly programmed body control module, which means the instrument panel cluster’s blacklight may offer no adjustability.
The car manufacturer notes that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards require at least two levels of brightness for controls. Jeep adds that an instrument display not visible to the driver could distract them and increase the risk of a crash. Dealers will simply need to update the body control module software to resolve the issue. The recall also extends to 392 body control modules sold by Mopar.

The second recall issued by Jeep impacts 162,713 vehicles in the United States. These consist of 2022-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee models built from May 17, 2021, to August 4, 2023, 2021-2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L models built from December 3, 2020, to August 4, 2023, and 2022-2024 Jeep Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer models manufactured between February 24, 2021 and August 4, 2023.

In this case, vehicles may be equipped with a central vision processing/park assist module (CVPAM) with software that could prevent the camera signal from passing through to the media screen, in particular when the car is reversing. Impacted vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards that require a rearview image to be displayed when the vehicle is put in reverse.
Jeep will notify owners of the recall on October 3, 2023, and instruct them to take vehicles to dealerships where the CVPAM software will be updated free of charge. The recall also impacts 1,114 CVPAMs sold by Mopar.
