EquipmentDecember 21, 2017 · Campaign 17V824000
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling various Dodge, Chrysler, and RAM vehicles equipped with Kidde Plastic-Handle or Push Button 'Pindicator' Fire Extinguishers. A list of the affected trailer models is available at: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17V824-0103.pdf. These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force to activate the extinguisher.
Risk: If the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a fire.
Fix: Chrysler will notify owners instructing them to contact Kidde for a replacement fire extinguisher, free of charge. The recall began February 14, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403 or Kidde customer service service toll-free at 1-855-262-3540, or online at www.kidde.com and click on…

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2017-2018 Jeep Compass vehicles. The brightness of the backlighting for the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) cannot be adjusted. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 101, "Controls and Displays."
Risk: An instrument cluster that is too bright, and cannot be dimmed, can reduce the driver's ability to see at night, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update IPC software, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began December 8, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is T70.
Campaign 17V740000 on NHTSA.govEquipment: other: owners/service/other manualJuly 7, 2017 · Campaign 17V433000
Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2017 Jeep Compass vehicles. The affected vehicles have User's Guides that contain incorrect information regarding the jump start procedure, specifically, the polarity of the battery terminals are reversed in the battery terminal graphic.
Risk: If a customer follows the User's Guide, they may hook up the battery jumper cables incorrectly, increasing their risk of injury.
Fix: Chrysler will notify owners and will replace the User's Guides with a corrected version, free of charge. The recall began August 22, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is T46.

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2017 Jeep Compass vehicles equipped with a 6-speed transmission. The left front halfshaft may not be properly seated, and, as a result, it may disengage from the transmission and/or break.
Risk: If the left front halfshaft disengages or breaks, the vehicle will have a loss of drive. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked without using the parking brake, the vehicle may roll, despite being in 'Park.' Either condition may increase the risk of a crash.
Fix: Chrysler will notify owners, dealers will inspect the left front halfshaft for engagement and replace any that are not properly engaged in the transmission, free of charge. The recall began on June 12, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is T26.

Read for lake-effect country
What counts on a 2017 Jeep Compass from Michigan to Tennessee
Lake-effect squalls, roads soaked in brine, potholes that open with every thaw and long Appalachian grades: driving in the Great Lakes states asks a lot of tires, batteries and undersides. These notes take the 2017 Compass figures above and flag the ones that carry the most weight in Ohio.
Pothole season and the factory tire sizes
Smallest factory tire: P205/70R16. Freeze-thaw cycles break up asphalt across the Great Lakes states, and one jolt can knock the alignment out without leaving a mark on the wheel. If the steering wheel sits off-center or the Compass wanders after a pothole, get the alignment checked before the tire edges wear. A winter set on 16-inch wheels also keeps salt off the originals.
The oil grade on a January morning
The 2017 Jeep Compass fluids table lists SAE 0W-20, with 5.5 qt per change. Lake-effect winters are full of short, cold trips: to work, to school, to the store and home again before the engine reaches temperature. That pattern is tough on oil, so let the oil-change indicator set the interval and never stretch it.
Cranking power for a lake-effect morning
Rated battery output: 500 cold-cranking amps, measured at 0°F. A single-digit night in Traverse City or Fort Wayne cuts what the battery can deliver just as the stiff engine asks more of the starter. Past three winters, an October load test tells you more than the date sticker. Charging comes from a 160-amp alternator.
Drive systems for lake-effect snow
The 2017 lineup includes front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. Power at both axles pays off when a band off Lake Erie buries the Snowbelt east of Cleveland, or on a steep, unplowed road out of a hollow in eastern Kentucky. It gets you moving; stopping on ice is still up to the tires.
Mountain roads in the schedule
The schedule shortens the automatic transmission fluid interval for frequent driving on mountain roads, rough or unpaved roads, short trips or heavy hot-weather traffic, first at 60,000 miles. Daily driving in southern West Virginia or eastern Kentucky checks more than one of those boxes, so treat the shorter interval as the normal one there.
Hot-weather intervals
Hot-weather driving moves automatic transmission fluid and manual transmission fluid service earlier in this schedule, from 60,000 miles. The northern half of the region rarely triggers it, but a Compass that spends July on I-40 across Tennessee, or towing on a humid afternoon, is a fair candidate for the shorter interval.
Filters for dust and pollen
The cabin air filter first comes up at 20,000 miles. Spring pollen in the Ohio and Tennessee valleys is heavy, and a clogged cabin filter also slows the defroster in winter because it chokes the blower's airflow. It is a five-minute job on most vehicles.
Fuel grade and winter reserve
Fuel requirement: 87 octane. In winter, keeping the tank above half is a sensible habit across the Great Lakes states, because lake-effect pileups and mountain snow on I-64 or I-77 can leave traffic stopped for hours, and fuel is your heat.
Each spec in these notes is pulled from the tables above. The commentary on salt, snow, potholes and grades is general guidance for the Great Lakes states; the owner's manual remains the authority.
