Symptoms

Owners of affected vehicles, including the 2024 Jeep Compass, may comment on experiencing an "Engine oil leak." This leak typically originates from the rear main crankshaft oil seal, often appearing between the transmission and the engine.

Diagnosis

To determine if TSB 09-019-24 applies, technicians will first check the vehicle's VIN against the Rapid Service Update (RSU) VIN list or use the VIP system in DealerCONNECT/Service Library. If the VIN is listed, the repair procedure should be performed. If the vehicle is not on the VIN list but exhibits an engine oil leak symptom, the repair procedure should still be followed.

The diagnostic process involves starting the engine and using the wiTECH diagnostic tool to ensure the engine temperature reaches at least 100 °C (212 °F). The vehicle is then raised and supported according to detailed service procedures available in DealerCONNECT/Service Library under 'Service Info > 04 - Vehicle Quick Reference/Hoisting/Standard Procedure'. A visual inspection is performed using a suitable light source to check for an oil leak between the transmission and the engine's rear main crankshaft seal, as illustrated in Figure 1 of the bulletin.

Repair Procedure

If an oil leak is confirmed during the inspection, the rear main crankshaft oil seal will be replaced. If no leak is found, the inspection labor operation (09-25-75-93) is used to close the active RSU, and no further action is needed.

For confirmed leaks, the replacement procedure for the crankshaft oil seal requires referring to detailed service procedures available in DealerCONNECT/Service Library. Technicians will follow the steps outlined under '1020D39 - Retentor Traseiro - Lado Volante - Remoção/Recolocação e Substituição' for vehicles with automatic transmissions. After the repair, it is crucial to check and top off the engine oil and refill all the coolant.
