Important Warnings

Owners should be aware that this Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 07-002-25 REV. A is specifically applicable to vehicles in the South American (SA) market. It is explicitly stated as "Not for US and Canada", meaning this particular service action does not apply to vehicles sold in these regions.

Symptoms

Owners of affected 2024-2025 Jeep Compass and Renegade vehicles may experience a noticeable Jeep Compass coolant leak. The primary symptom is "Coolant is leaking at the thermostatic valve." This leak indicates a potential issue with the thermostatic valve gasket, leading to a loss of engine coolant.

This bulletin, identified as TSB 07-002-25 REV. A, is a revision of a previous Technical Service Bulletin, superseding TSB 07-002-25 dated April 15, 2025. It has also been released as Rapid Service Update (RSU) 25-063, also dated April 15, 2025.

The TSB applies to specific 2024-2026 (B1) Jeep Renegade, 2025-2026 (H1) Jeep Commander, and 2025-2026 (M1) Jeep Compass vehicles. The affected vehicles were built on or after July 01, 2024 (MDH 0701XX) and on or before February 02, 2025 (MDH 0202XX).

Diagnosis

If a Jeep Compass coolant leak is suspected, technicians will first verify if the customer's VIN is listed in VIP or the RSU VIN list. If a coolant leak from the thermostatic valve is confirmed, the repair procedure will be initiated. For vehicles not on the VIN list but exhibiting the symptom, a diagnostic procedure is performed.

The diagnostic steps involve:

1. If equipped, removing the under engine protection cover. Detailed service procedures are available in DealerCONNECT/Service Library under Service Info> 7055B54 - Under Engine Protection - Removal/Replacement.
2. Starting the vehicle and raising the coolant temperature to 90 °C (194 °F).
3. Inspecting the thermostatic valve and its surrounding area for evidence of leaking coolant, as illustrated in Fig. 1 of the bulletin.
4. Confirming if a coolant leak is present, as shown in Fig. 2. If a leak is found, the repair procedure is followed. If no leak is found, an Inspection Labor Operation (07-40-10-91) is used to close the active RSU, and the under engine protection cover is reinstalled.
