2024-2025 Jeep Coolant Leak: Thermostatic Valve Gasket TSB

Stellantis has issued Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 07-002-25, also known as Rapid Service Update (RSU) 25-063, to address a specific coolant leak issue. This bulletin, dated April 15, 2025, details a problem where engine coolant may leak from the thermostatic valve gasket in certain 2024-2025 Jeep Renegade and Compass vehicles. The TSB provides a clear diagnostic and repair procedure for technicians.

This TSB is primarily applicable to vehicles sold in South America (SA) markets and explicitly states it is "Not for US and Canada". However, owners of affected vehicles in applicable regions experiencing a Jeep Compass coolant leak should be aware of this service action.

Symptoms of a Coolant Leak

Owners of affected vehicles may notice a specific symptom indicating a problem with the cooling system. The primary symptom is: "Coolant is leaking at the thermostatic valve."

Cause of the Leak

The root cause identified for the Jeep Compass coolant leak is a "Leaking thermostatic valve gasket." Over time, this gasket can fail, leading to coolant escaping from the thermostatic valve assembly.

Diagnosis Steps

To diagnose a Jeep Compass coolant leak related to the thermostatic valve gasket, technicians should follow a specific procedure. If a customer's VIN is listed in the Rapid Service Update (RSU) list and a coolant leak is verified, the repair can proceed directly. If a vehicle not on the RSU VIN list exhibits the symptom, the following diagnostic steps are performed:

1. If equipped, remove the under engine protection cover. Technicians should refer to detailed service procedures in DealerCONNECT/Service Library under "Service Info > 7055B54 - Under Engine Protection - Removal/Replacement."
2. Start the vehicle and allow the coolant temperature to reach 90 °C (194 °F).
3. Inspect the thermostatic valve and its surrounding area for evidence of leaking coolant (as shown in Fig. 1 of the TSB).
4. Confirm if a coolant leak is present (as depicted in Fig. 2 of the TSB).

If a leak is found, the repair procedure is initiated. If no leak is found, the inspection Labor Operation (07-40-10-91) is used to close the active RSU.

Repair Procedure Summary

The repair for the Jeep Compass coolant leak involves replacing the thermostatic valve gasket. The general steps include:

1. Remove the thermostatic valve. Technicians must refer to the detailed service procedures available in DealerCONNECT/Service Library under "Service Info > 1088C40 - Thermostatic Valve - Removal/Replacement - Including necessary procedures."
2. Replace the thermostatic valve gasket (Fig. 3 in the TSB illustrates the gasket).

Technicians are advised to respect all safety and cleaning instructions during this intervention.
