Dealer Service Instructions for:
Safety Recall 15A / NHTSA 23V-058
Low Cluster Brightness
NOTE: The Parts Information section has been updated.
2022 (MP) Jeep Compass
The instrument panel center cluster display on about 90 of the above vehicles may have insufficient backlighting due to incompatible vehicle components, making the instrument panel center cluster display not visible to the driver during daytime driving conditions.
A center cluster that is not visible to the driver may result in the driver’s attention being distracted from the driving task while trying to locate a desired display, such as the fuel gauge and warning lights, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.
Remedy Available IMPORTANT: Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer new vehicle inventory. Federal law requires you to complete this recall service on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also consider this requirement to apply to used vehicle inventory and should perform this recall on vehicles in for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process. Subject
Safety Recall 15A – Low Cluster Brightness Page 2
Replace the windshield and headlamp switch and add a light sensor module and a wiring jumper harness to allow the instrument panel center cluster display backlighting to function correctly.
Dealers should attempt to minimize customer inconvenience by placing the owner in a loaner vehicle if inspection determines that windshield replacement is required and the vehicle must be held overnight.

Remove Trim
NOTE:
• Urethane adhesives are applied as a system. Use glass cleaner, glass prep solvent, glass primer, PVC (vinyl) primer and pinch weld (fence) primer provided by the adhesive manufacturer. If not, structural integrity could be compromised.
• FCA US LLC does not recommend glass adhesive by brand. Technicians should review product labels and technical data sheets, and use only adhesives that their manufactures warrant will restore a vehicle to the requirements of FMVSS 212. Technicians should also insure that primers and cleaners are compatible with the particular adhesive used.
• Be sure to refer to the urethane manufacturer’s directions for curing time specifications, and do not use adhesive after its expiration date.
• Vapors that are emitted from the urethane adhesive or primer could cause personal injury. Use them in a well-ventilated area.
• Skin contact with urethane adhesive should be avoided. Personal injury may result.
• Always wear eye and hand protection when working with glass.
CAUTION: Protect all painted and trimmed surfaces from coming in contact with urethane or primers.
Be careful not to damage painted surfaces when removing moldings or cutting urethane around windshield. Service Procedure
Safety Recall 15A – Low Cluster Brightness Page 5
WARNING: To avoid serious or fatal injury on vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, airbag, Occupant Classification System (OCS), seat belt tensioner, impact sensor or instrument panel component diagnosis or service.

Prepare Body and Windshield
CAUTION: To help prevent water leaks, partially roll down the left and right door glass before installing the windshield. This avoids pressurizing the passenger compartment if a door is slammed before the urethane is cured.
NOTE: To prevent corrosion, do not damage paint on windshield fence when removing original urethane.
NOTE: The windshield fence should be cleaned of most of its old urethane adhesive. A small amount of old urethane, approximately 1 mm in height should remain on the fence. Do not completely remove all old urethane from the fence, the paint finish and bonding strength will be adversely affected.

Figure 21 – Windshield Retainer Clips
Safety Recall 15A – Low Cluster Brightness Page 17
45. Install the NEW light sensor to the windshield:
NOTE: The layer of silicone material is protected by a film that is removed when the component is installed. Avoid hand contact to prevent damage to the silicone. Because it is not possible to disconnect and reconnect the part without damaging the silicone layer, the HLRSM should be replaced if the windshield is replaced.
NOTE: If a new component is installed, check that no air bubbles remain between the glass and HLRSM; apply a load of at least 50 N (11 lbf) to be certain that any bubbles are eliminated.
• Clean the housing for the HLRSM in the windshield thoroughly. Use a degreasing product.
• Place the HLRSM in position.
• Position the retaining clip for the HLRSM and attach the side hooks.
Service Procedure [Continued]

Install Windshield
WARNING: Do not use solvent based glass cleaners to clean the windshield before applying glass prep and primer or poor glass adhesion may result.
WARNING: Follow the urethane manufacturers guidance on cure time, and how soon the vehicle can safely be driven after glass replacement. If it is not cured, the windshield may not perform properly if the vehicle is in an accident.
CAUTION: Protect all painted and trimmed surfaces from coming in contact with urethane or primers.
46. Clean the inside of the windshield with an ammonia based glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth.
NOTE: Always use matching brand chemical products for windshield replacements. Do not mix brands.
NOTE: Always follow the manufacturer’s agitation requirements prior to application.
NOTE: The following steps for priming the glass apply to NEW windshield installations only.
47. When installing a NEW windshield, using a single step primer like Sika Primer 207, Betaprime 5504g, or equivalent, apply glass primer 25 mm (1 in) wide (1) around the perimeter of the windshield (2) and 5 mm (0.2 in) from the edge of the glass. Allow at least three minutes drying time (Figure 22).

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
Low Cluster Brightness
Dear [Name],
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
FCA US LLC has decided that certain [2022 (MP) Jeep Compass] vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 101 – Controls and displays S5.3.2 Brightness of illumination of controls and indicators, which states “Means must be provided for illuminating the indicators…to make them visible to the driver under daylight…driving conditions.”
It is extremely important to take steps now to repair your vehicle to ensure the safety of you and your passengers.
WHY DOES MY VEHICLE NEED REPAIRS?
The instrument panel center cluster display on your vehicle [1] may have insufficient backlighting due to incompatible vehicle components, making the instrument panel center cluster display not visible to the driver during daytime driving conditions.
A center cluster that is not visible to the driver may result in the driver’s attention being distracted from the driving task while trying to locate a desired display, such as the fuel gauge and warning lights, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.
HOW DO I RESOLVE THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE? FCA US will repair your vehicle [2] free of charge (parts and labor). To do this, your dealer will replace the windshield and headlamp switch and add a light sensor module and a wiring jumper harness to allow the instrument panel center cluster display backlighting to function correctly. The estimated repair time is three hours. In addition, your dealer will require your vehicle for proper check-in, preparation, and check-out during your visit, which may require more time. Your time is important to us, so we recommend that you schedule a service appointment to minimize your inconvenience. Please bring this letter with you to your dealership.
TO SCHEDULE YOUR FREE REPAIR,
CALL YOUR CHRYSLER, DODGE, JEEP OR RAM DEALER TODAY
WHAT IF I ALREADY PAID TO HAVE THIS REPAIR COMPLETED?
If you have already experienced this specific condition and have paid to have it repaired, you may visit www.fcarecallreimbursement.com to submit your reimbursement request online. [3] Once we receive and verify the required documents, reimbursement will be sent to you within 60 days. If you have had previous repairs performed and/or already received reimbursement, you may still need to have the recall repair performed.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but are sincerely concerned about your safety. Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
