Buying a used 2022 Jeep Compass? Check these 4 recalls first
Every recall here concerns what the driver can see: two covering a dashboard display that is too dim or whose brightness cannot be adjusted, one for a backup camera that may show nothing, and a low-severity recall for front headrests that were not welded properly. The 221 unverified complaints filed with NHTSA — 11 crashes, six injuries, no fires — line up with that, led by electrical system, exterior lighting and forward collision avoidance.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- View the dashboard display after dark and confirm the brightness adjustment actually works through its range.
- Shift to reverse and verify the camera shows an image every time, not intermittently.
- Ask whether the headrest recall was done, and about any forward collision or exterior lighting warnings.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Jeep dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
