2007 Jeep Compass recalls
Recall 10V-234: Vehicle Speed Control
Problem: Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2007 dodge caliber and jeep compass passenger vehicles manufactured from march 7 through may 19, 2006. The pivot bushings in vehicles with oversized accelerator pedal bearing pockets may become dislodged and potentially cause the accelerator pedal to bind or stick.
Risk: Should the pedal bind or become stuck, it can be overcome by smart brakes which override the accelerator pedal in certain conditions.
Fix: Chrysler will notify owners and dealers will inspect and replace all affected accelerator pedal assemblies free of charge. The safety recall began on june 29, 2010. Owners may contact chrysler toll-free at 1-800-853-1403.
Recall 06V-493: Service Brakes, Hydraulic
Problem: On certain vehicles, the antilock brake system (Abs) control module software may cause the rear brakes to lock up during certain braking conditions.
Risk: This could result in a loss of vehicle control and cause a crash without warning.
Fix: Dealers will reprogram the ABS electronic control unit. The recall began on february 19, 2007. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
Recall 06V-434: Equipment
Problem: On certain sport utility vehicles, the owner's manual does not contain the required higher rollover risk warning information.
Risk: Without the rollover warning information in the owner's manual, drivers may not be aware of the significantly higher rollover rate on this type vehicle, which could result in a crash.
Fix: Daimlerchrysler will mail an addendum to the owner's manual to all affected vehicle owners. The recall began on november 14, 2006. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
