2022-2026 Jeep, RAM, Dodge Universal Garage Door Opener TSB

Owners of 2022-2026 Jeep, RAM, Dodge, and Chrysler vehicles may encounter issues with their Universal Garage Door Opener (UGDO) system. This system, often referred to as HomeLink and integrated into the sun visor, provides convenient access to garage doors and other compatible devices. When these systems malfunction, it can be a source of frustration for vehicle owners.

To address potential malfunctions, a manufacturer communication, TSB 9100591, has been issued. This bulletin, titled "GPOP - Issue Review System," provides crucial guidance to prevent unnecessary part replacements and ensure proper diagnosis of any Jeep Universal Garage Door Opener problem.

Symptoms and Component Affected

The core issue revolves around the proper functioning of the Universal Garage Door Opener (UGDO), which includes the HomeLink system.

The specific component often implicated is the Universal Garage Door Opener, identified by part number 68144065AS, which is typically housed within the vehicle's sun visor.
