08/15/2023 _____________________________________________________________________ New Safety Recall Advanced Communication – 88A FCA US LLC (FCA US) has announced a safety recall on certain 2022 and 2023 Model Year (MP) Jeep® Compass vehicles. REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL Some of the above vehicles may have been built with incorrectly programmed Body Control Module (BCM) software which may result in an Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) backlight with no adjustability. An IPC display 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, which can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 571.101 Controls and displays S5.3.2, Brightness of illumination of controls and indicators, states that controls and indicators “must be adjustable to provide at least two levels of brightness.” Vehicles produced with incorrectly programmed BCM software can experience the inability to adjust the brightness on the instrument panel center cluster to provide at least two levels of brightness. SERVICE ACTION FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall to update the BCM software. The remedy for this condition is not currently available. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established communication methods. This recall is estimated to launch in 4th Quarter of 2023. We ask that you please take the time to ensure that your personnel are aware of this communication and are prepared to execute a customer friendly process for inquiries regarding involved vehicles.
