2024-2025 Jeep Compass A/C Not Blowing Cold Air

Jeep has issued Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 24-002-25, also released as Rapid Service Update (RSU) 25-072, addressing concerns about the air conditioning system in certain 2024-2025 Jeep Compass vehicles. Owners might notice their A/C system failing to provide adequate cabin cooling, often manifesting as the A/C blowing warm air. This TSB provides a diagnostic and repair procedure for technicians to resolve the underlying cause, which is an A/C refrigerant leak.

Symptoms of an A/C Refrigerant Leak

Owners of affected Jeep Compass models may observe the following issues with their air conditioning system:

• "A/C provides insufficient cabin cooling."
• "A/C is blowing warm air."

These symptoms indicate a potential A/C refrigerant leak, which prevents the system from properly cooling the cabin.

Important Warnings for Owners

This Rapid Service Update (RSU) is specifically focused on an A/C discharge line leak. If a technician diagnoses an A/C leak originating from a different component, they must seek approval from the warranty team before proceeding with any repairs on other affected parts. This ensures that only the necessary repairs are performed and covered under warranty.

Diagnosis and Trigger Conditions

To determine if your vehicle is covered by this service action, technicians will check your VIN against the applicable RSU VIN list using VIP or DealerCONNECT/Service Library. However, even if your VIN is not on the list, but your vehicle exhibits the described symptoms of a Jeep Compass A/C leak, the repair procedure should still be followed.

Repair Procedure Summary

The repair outlined in TSB 24-002-25 involves a multi-step process to address the A/C refrigerant leak:

1. Refrigerant Recovery: The first step is to recover the A/C refrigerant using a specialized Refrigerant Recovery/Recycling/Charging Station. Detailed service procedures for this process are available in the DealerCONNECT/Service Library under the Heating and Air Conditioning section.
2. A/C Vacuum Testing: Following refrigerant recovery, an A/C vacuum testing cycle is performed. This test helps identify if there is a leak in the system. Technicians will refer to the DealerCONNECT/Service Library for the specific procedures.
3. Inspection and Replacement: If the A/C vacuum testing cycle passes, the bulletin is considered complete, and technicians will use Labor Operation Number 24-45-22-94 for inspection. If the vacuum test fails, indicating a leak, the A/C discharge line will be replaced. This replacement procedure is detailed in the DealerCONNECT/Service Library under the Heating and Air Conditioning section, specifically for the A/C Discharge Line Removal and Installation.

Required Parts and Labor

For repairs involving the A/C discharge line, the following parts may be required:

• Line, A/C Discharge, Jumper: Part Number 68504901AA
• Lubricant, Compressor: Part Number 68224150GB
