2024-2026 Jeep Compass / Renegade Turn Signal Lever Does Not Cancel

Important Market Information

It is critical for owners to note that this Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 08-218-25 is not applicable to vehicles built for the US market. The bulletin explicitly states that it applies to the South America market, covering countries within the NA, MEA, SA, IAP, EE, and CH market applicability codes. Owners in regions other than South America should be aware that this specific TSB does not apply to their vehicles.

Symptoms of a Malfunctioning Turn Signal Lever

Owners of affected vehicles may experience a specific issue with their turn signals. The primary symptom is that the "Turn signal lever does not return or cancel." This means that after activating a turn signal, the lever may remain in the activated position instead of automatically returning to the neutral position or canceling the signal after completing a turn.

Diagnosing the Turn Signal Issue

To determine if a vehicle is subject to this service action, technicians should first check the vehicle's VIN in the VIP system or the Rapid Service Update (RSU) VIN list. If the VIN is listed, the repair procedure should be performed. If a vehicle is not on the VIN list but exhibits the symptom where the Jeep Compass turn signal lever does not return or cancel, the repair procedure should still be followed.

The diagnostic process involves a simple test:

1. Start the vehicle.
2. Activate the left turn signal.
3. Turn the steering wheel fully to the left stop, then return it to the center position. Observe if the turn signal lever automatically returns.
4. Repeat the process for the right turn signal: activate it, turn the steering wheel fully to the right stop, then return to center, and observe the lever's automatic return.

If either the left or right turn signal lever does not automatically return or cancel during this test, the issue is confirmed.

Repair Procedure Summary

If the turn signal lever fails the diagnostic test, the repair involves either an inspection or a replacement. If the turn signal lever does not automatically return or cancel, the service action is complete by using Labor Operation Number 08-19-27-94 for inspection. If the lever functions correctly during the diagnostic test, then the bulletin does not apply.

However, if the lever does not return or cancel, and the vehicle is on the RSU VIN list, the next step is to replace the turn signal lever. This involves referring to detailed service procedures available in DealerCONNECT/Service Library under the reference 5550A12, titled "Comando Indicadores de Direção - Remoção/Recolocação para Veículos com Air Bag" (Turn Signal Indicators Control - Removal/Replacement for Vehicles with Air Bag).
