2025 Jeep Compass Incorrect Spare Tire Assembly TSB

Owners of certain 2025 Jeep Compass vehicles may encounter an issue with an "incorrect spare tire rim or non-compliant spare tire rim assembly." This condition is addressed by Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 22-001-25 REV. A, which outlines the inspection and potential replacement of the spare tire assembly.

This bulletin supersedes the previous TSB 22-001-25 issued on July 26, 2025, and has also been released as Rapid Service Update (RSU) 25-151. All repairs performed under this TSB are reimbursable within the provisions of the vehicle's warranty.

Symptoms

The primary symptom technicians may identify, and which owners might notice, is the presence of an "incorrect spare tire rim or non-compliant spare tire rim assembly." This means the spare wheel or tire might not match the specified design or size for the vehicle.

Diagnosis

To diagnose the 2025 Jeep Compass incorrect spare tire issue, technicians will inspect the spare tire aluminum rim. The correct spare tire aluminum rim should not have any windows or cutouts in the middle of each spoke. Additionally, the correct tire size for the spare should be 225/60R17.

If a vehicle's VIN is listed in the VIP system or the RSU VIN list, the repair procedure should be performed. If a vehicle not on these lists exhibits the symptom of an incorrect spare tire, it should also undergo the repair procedure.

Repair Procedure Summary

The repair process for the 2025 Jeep Compass incorrect spare tire involves a two-step approach:

1. Inspection: The technician will inspect the spare tire aluminum rim to verify its appearance. They will check for the presence of windows or cutouts in the spokes and confirm the tire size is 225/60R17. If the rim is correct, the bulletin does not apply, and an inspection labor operation (22-40-01-9J) is used to close the active RSU.
2. Replacement (if necessary): If the inspection reveals an incorrect aluminum spare tire rim, the technician will proceed to replace both the aluminum spare tire rim and the tire. This replacement is covered under labor operation 22-40-01-9K.

Required Parts

If replacement is necessary, the following parts may be required:

• Wheel, Aluminum: Part Numbers 7098436 (EMEA) or 68751156AA (Mopar)
• Tire - PNEU 225/60 R17 103H: Part Number 7094256 (EMEA)

It is important to note that new aluminum rims are not shipped with tires. Tires will need to be purchased locally by the dealership and then submitted for reimbursement.

Important Warnings

• Market Applicability: This bulletin specifically applies to the South America market, despite broader market applicability listed. Owners in other regions should confirm with their dealer if they experience this issue.
• Documentation: After applying this TSB, it is not necessary for technicians to send DID-I or DID-A documentation.

Owner Action

If you own a 2025 Jeep Compass and suspect your vehicle may have an "incorrect spare tire rim or non-compliant spare tire rim assembly," or if you have received notification regarding TSB 22-001-25 REV. A or RSU 25-151, you should contact your authorized Jeep dealership. They can verify if your vehicle is affected and perform the necessary inspection and, if required, the replacement of the spare tire assembly under warranty.
