Canada/Ottawa: Transport Canada, an Ottawa, Ontario regulatory and safety safety authority, recalls certain 2022 and 2023 Jeep Compass SUVs marketed, sold and delivered in Canada.

If this defect occurs, you may not be able to see certain information about the vehicle’s in-use operation and/or performance, including the gauges, messages and tell-tale graphics.
An Instrument Cluster Display that isn’t visible could increase the risk of a crash, motor vehicle collision (“MVC”) or other impact event with consequential serious injury and/or life-changing results.
