Buying a used 2023 Jeep Compass? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2023 Compass's two open recalls are both screen-related and rated medium: dashboard display brightness that cannot be adjusted, and a backup camera that may show no image. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. NHTSA has 45 unverified owner complaints for this year, led by electrical system (13), then forward collision avoidance and engine (7 each) and steering (6). Two crashes and one injury are reported, no fires. Display and driver-assist behavior are the areas that stand out.
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.
- Confirm both recall repairs — dash brightness and backup camera — are closed for this VIN.
- Test the backup camera and dash display brightness in daylight and after dark.
- Drive-test forward collision warning and braking for false alerts, and note steering feel.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Jeep dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
