Jeep Compass Recalls (2010-2023)
The Jeep Compass has been the subject of 22 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2010 to 2023 model years. They cluster mostly around the electrical system, air bags, and equipment.
The Jeep Compass scores 86 out of 100 (grade A), one of the cleaner recall records among the vehicles we track. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 64% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 14% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 22 campaigns span 13 model years of the Jeep Compass. The single largest affected 1,435,625 vehicles, over air bags. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common Compass problems owners report and its crash-test safety ratings.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Jeep Compass may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.

Common questions about Jeep Compass recalls
- Does the Jeep Compass have any recalls?
- Yes. NHTSA has 22 recall campaigns on record for the Jeep Compass across the 2010 to 2023 model years. The most common areas are the electrical system, air bags, and equipment.
- How many times has the Jeep Compass been recalled?
- The Jeep Compass has 22 recall campaigns from the 2010 to 2023 model years. A single campaign often covers several model years at once, so the number of recalls is not the same as the number of years affected.
- What is the most serious Jeep Compass recall?
- The most serious recall on record involves the air bags, affecting 1,435,625 vehicles. If the frontal air bags, seat belt pretensioners, and side air bags are disabled, there is an increased risk of injury to the vehicle occupants in the event of a vehicle crash that necessitates deployment of these safety systems.
- Which Jeep Compass model year has the most recalls?
- The 2018 Jeep Compass has the most, with 6 recall campaigns on record. Older model years often pick up more recalls over time, since defects can surface years after a car is built.
- How do I check if my Jeep Compass has an open recall?
- Enter your 17-digit VIN on the recall check page. It returns the recalls tied to your exact vehicle straight from NHTSA. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer, with no expiration on most safety recalls.
Recall data comes from NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation. For how it is sourced and how the safety score is built, see the methodology and data sources. This page is a reference, not legal or safety advice.
