Jeep Compass dashboard display may be too dim

NHTSA campaign 23V058000 · Reported 2023-02-09 · Chrysler (FCA US, LLC)

medium How serious is it? About this label

Moderate: not being able to see warning lights or your fuel gauge could contribute to a crash, but the notice places no restriction on driving, so keep driving and schedule the repair.

What's wrong, in plain English

The display in the middle of the dashboard may not be lit brightly enough, so it can be hard or impossible to read in daylight. That screen shows things you need while driving, such as your fuel level and warning lights, so you could miss an important alert. To fix it, the dealer replaces the windshield and the headlight switch, adds a light sensor and a small wiring harness so the screen lights up correctly. All free.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your 2022 Compass is affected.
2. Book the repair with a Jeep dealer, or call FCA US customer service at 1-800-853-1403 and reference recall 15A.
3. Allow extra shop time — the fix includes a new windshield — and expect no charge.
