Important Note for US Owners

It is crucial for owners in the United States to understand that Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 08-218-25 REV. C, concerning the Jeep Compass turn signal lever, explicitly states that it applies only to the South American market. This means that if you are experiencing this issue with your 2024-2026 Jeep Compass or Renegade in the U.S., this specific TSB and its associated repair procedures are not intended for your vehicle. Always consult with your local dealership for diagnosis and repair specific to your region.

Symptoms

Owners of affected vehicles in the South American market may observe the following symptom related to the Jeep Compass turn signal lever:

  • The "Turn signal lever does not return or cancel" after being activated for a turn or lane change.

This indicates that the turn signal stalk does not automatically snap back to its neutral position, requiring manual cancellation by the driver.

Diagnosis and Trigger Conditions

To diagnose this condition, technicians will first verify if the vehicle's VIN is listed in the Rapid Service Update (RSU) 25-139 VIN list. However, if a vehicle not on the RSU list exhibits the symptom of the Jeep Compass turn signal lever failing to return or cancel, the repair procedure should still be followed.

The diagnostic process involves:

  1. Starting the vehicle.
  2. Activating the left turn signal.
  3. Turning the steering wheel fully to the left stop, then returning it to the center position. The technician observes if the turn signal lever automatically returns to the neutral position.
  4. Repeating the process for the right turn signal, turning the steering wheel fully to the right, then back to the center, and observing the lever's automatic return.

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