JAKARTA - Quality issues seem to still haunt the automotive brand Jeep. This automotive company from the United States must again issue a recall program for several of its models.

More than 340,000 Jeep vehicles were hit by the recall this time, involving Jeep Compass, Jeep Wagoneer, and Jeep Grand Cherokee models.

Reporting from Carscoops, Monday, August 21, this recall was triggered by an interior technology problem and divided into two different recalls.

First, the recall involved Jeep Compass production in 2022 and 2023 between February 17, 2021 and July 26, 2023. The number of affected models reached 181,999 units. Jeep revealed that the Jeep Compass had problems with the body control module system that was not properly programmed.

This case causes the black light on the instrument cluster panel to not match what it should be. The manufacturer also highlighted that instruments that are not visible to drivers can distract them and increase the risk of accidents.

To solve the problem with Jeep Compass, the dealers only need to update the bodi control module software. This recall includes 392 body control modules sold by Stellantis' spare parts provider division Mopar.

Then, different cases occurred in the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Wagoneer models. This second recall involved 162,713 vehicles in the US, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee 2022-2023 which was produced from 17 May 2021 to 4 August 2023.

In addition, the Jeep Grand Cherokee L 2021-2023 model which was assembled from December 3, 2020 to August 4, 2023, and Jeep Wagoneer or Grand Wagoneer 2022-2024 which was produced from February 24, 2021 to August 4, 2023 was also affected by the recall.

The problem with these two models is related to the damaged parking auxiliary System (CVPAM), causing the camera to display no rear view images when the car is backed back.

The manufacturer will notify vehicle owners regarding the recall involving Jeep Grand Cherokee and Wagoneer on October 3, 2023. Jeep will direct vehicle users to a dealers where the CVPAM system will be updated for free. This recall includes 1,114 CVPAM units sold by Mopar.

Some time ago, the Jeep Grand Cherokee model also experienced a recall involving 331,401 units in the US due to problems with rear springs that could be released.
