2025 Jeep Compass Seatbelt Locking System Too Sensitive TSB

Stellantis has released Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 10-002-25 REV. A, dated March 21, 2025, to address concerns regarding the passenger seatbelt inertial locking system in certain 2025 Jeep Compass and Jeep Renegade vehicles. This bulletin, which supersedes TSB 10-002-25 from March 18, 2025, also corresponds to Rapid Service Update (RSU) 25-033. This 2025 Jeep Compass manufacturer_communication provides guidance for technicians on diagnosing and repairing the issue.

Important Warnings

This Technical Service Bulletin is explicitly marked as "Not For US and Canada" in its market applicability section. Owners of affected vehicles in North America should be aware that this specific bulletin does not apply to their region. The TSB is intended for markets including NA (presumably not US/Canada parts of NA), CH, EE, IAP, SA, and MEA. Vehicles cannot be delivered until the update is completed for applicable markets.

Symptoms

Owners may notice that the "Passenger Seatbelt Inertial Locking System is too sensitive." This means the seatbelt may lock up or resist extension more readily than expected, even under normal driving conditions or during minor movements.

Cause

The root cause identified for the overly sensitive passenger seatbelt inertial locking system is belt deformation. This deformation can interfere with the proper operation of the seatbelt mechanism, leading to premature locking.

Diagnosis

If you experience the symptom of a passenger seatbelt that is too sensitive, a technician will perform a specific diagnostic procedure. This involves inspecting the right side seatbelt by pulling it from its resting position forward 10 times. The technician will then observe if the seatbelt locks or hangs up during this process. If it does not, the bulletin is considered complete, and Labor Operation 23-13-03-97 is used to close the active RSU. If it does lock or hang up, further action is required.

Repair Procedure Summary

The repair process for the 2025 Jeep Compass manufacturer_communication begins with the diagnostic inspection described above. If the seatbelt is found to be locking or hanging up, the next step is to replace the seatbelt assembly. Technicians are instructed to refer to the detailed service procedures available in DealerCONNECT/Service Library under the reference number 7065B12, which covers the removal and replacement of the three-point rear seatbelt.

Required Parts

If replacement is necessary, specific parts are required depending on the vehicle model:

• For Jeep Renegade: Part Number 8AV41LXHAA (MOPAR 7097973 - EMEA) for the right seatbelt.
• For Jeep Compass: Part Number 8AV44DX9AA (MOPAR 709794 - EMEA) for the right seatbelt.
