2023-2025 Jeep Compass Catalytic Converter Warranty (India)

Introduction

Jeep has released International Warranty Bulletin ID-25-16, announcing a warranty extension for the catalytic converter on specific 2023-2025 Jeep Compass and Jeep Meridian models. This bulletin aims to provide extended coverage for the component, identified as the "(XY1) Catalytic Converter," under certain conditions.

Important Note for US Owners

It is crucial for owners in the United States to understand that this warranty bulletin, ID-25-16, is explicitly designated as "IAP - India Only" and is "Not applicable to vehicles built for US market." This means the extended warranty coverage described in this document does not apply to any 2023-2025 Jeep Compass catalytic converter or Jeep Meridian vehicles sold or operated within the United States.

What is the (XY1) Catalytic Converter Warranty Extension?

This bulletin details an extended warranty period for the (XY1) Catalytic Converter. The purpose of this extension is to provide additional coverage for this specific component, ensuring that eligible vehicles receive necessary service if the catalytic converter experiences issues within the extended timeframe. This initiative helps address potential concerns related to the performance and longevity of the catalytic converter in the affected models.

Warranty Coverage Period

The warranty extension period for the catalytic converter is set for "One year / Unlimited kilometers from the vehicle's In-Service Date." This means that for eligible vehicles, the catalytic converter will be covered for an additional year from the date the vehicle was first put into service, with no mileage limit during that period. This provides significant peace of mind for owners regarding the durability of their Jeep Compass catalytic converter.

How to Check for Coverage (India Market)

For owners in India, it is essential to confirm if their vehicle is involved in this warranty extension. Dealers are instructed to check DealerCONNECT or WiADVISOR VIP. A vehicle that is part of this warranty extension will display an "(XY1) Catalytic Converter message" in VIP. If this specific message does not appear, the vehicle is not covered by this particular warranty extension, and no further action is required from the dealer's perspective. This verification step ensures that only eligible vehicles receive the extended coverage.

Guidance for Technicians

Technicians are advised to review Technical Service Bulletin 11-003-25 before undertaking any catalytic converter replacements on eligible vehicles. This separate Technical Service Bulletin provides comprehensive information to assist dealers with the proper diagnosis and replacement procedures for the catalytic converter, ensuring that any repairs are performed correctly and efficiently. The Global Claim System (GCS) will honor the warranty extension coverage based on the labor operation numbers detailed in TSB 11-003-25.

Previous Repairs

If a customer has previously experienced issues with their Jeep Compass catalytic converter and paid for repairs related to this specific condition, or if they have questions or concerns, they should contact their local Customer Relations Center. This information is typically found in the vehicle's Warranty Booklet, providing a pathway for potential reimbursement or clarification on past service.
