2024-2025 Jeep Compass/Renegade Engine Mount Noise TSB

Owners of certain 2024-2025 Jeep Compass and Renegade vehicles may notice an unusual noise emanating from the engine compartment. This issue, detailed in Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 09-009-25, points to excessive engine mount movement as the root cause of the noise. The TSB outlines a diagnostic and repair procedure for technicians to address this concern.

This TSB, also released as Rapid Service Update (RSU) 25-073, was issued on April 23, 2025, to provide guidance on inspecting and replacing the right-hand side engine mount if necessary.

Important Warnings

The TSB explicitly states: "Not for US and Canada" regarding its market applicability. However, the NHTSA data links this document to US-market vehicles. Owners should consult their local dealership to confirm applicability. Additionally, specific part requests for this repair are noted as "Only for the Brazil and Argentina markets" and require inclusion in a "Recall Order with VIN" screen in CSPS following Standard Procedure "00 - Request for campaign parts."

Symptoms

Customers experiencing this issue will typically notice a specific type of noise. The TSB describes the symptom as: "The customer notices the problem through a noise in the front right part in the engine area during parking maneuvers when changing gear from R to D, as well as when reversing from D to R."

This distinct noise often occurs when the transmission is shifted between Reverse (R) and Drive (D), or vice versa, during low-speed parking maneuvers. If you hear this type of noise, it could indicate the presence of the Jeep Compass engine mount noise.

Cause

The underlying cause of the described noise is identified as "Excessive engine mount movement." Engine mounts are designed to secure the engine to the vehicle's frame and absorb vibrations. When a mount allows too much movement, it can lead to contact between components or transmit excessive noise into the cabin, resulting in the audible symptom.

Diagnosis

To diagnose the Jeep Compass engine mount noise, technicians will first check if the customer's vehicle VIN is listed in the VIP system or on the Rapid Service Update (RSU) VIN list. If the vehicle is on the list, the repair should be performed. If the vehicle is not on the VIN list but exhibits the described symptom, the repair procedure should still be followed.

The diagnostic process involves a simple test: start the vehicle with the air conditioning turned off, allow the engine to reach operating temperature until the cooling fan runs, and then move the shifter from Drive to Park. During this process, the technician will listen for any noise on the right side of the engine. If the noise is present, the repair proceeds. If no noise is heard, the bulletin is considered complete, and the inspection labor operation (09-40-20-9E) is used to close the active RSU.

Repair Procedure Summary

The repair for the excessive engine mount movement primarily involves inspecting and, if necessary, replacing the right-hand side engine mount. The steps are as follows:

1. Initial Check: Start the vehicle, ensure the air conditioning is off, and wait until the engine fan activates. Then, shift the vehicle from Drive to Park and listen for noise on the right side of the engine.
2. Decision Point: If noise is heard, proceed to the next step for replacement. If no noise is detected, the inspection is complete, and the technician will use Labor Operation 09-40-20-9E to close the active RSU.
3. Mount Replacement: If noise is confirmed, the right-hand side engine mount must be replaced. Detailed service procedures for this replacement can be found in the DealerCONNECT/Service Library under Service Info > 1008B10, which covers the removal and reinstallation of the front engine support insulator.

Required Parts and Labor

For the replacement of the engine mount, specific parts are listed:

• Part No. 68670472AA - NA: Right Insulator
• Part No. 7095417 - SA: Right Insulator

The labor operations associated with this TSB are:

• 09-40-20-9E: Engine Mount - Inspect (1 - Introduction) - Estimated 0.2 hours.
• 09-40-20-9F: Engine Mount - Inspect and Replace (1 - Introduction) - Estimated 0.7 hours.

All repairs performed under this TSB are reimbursable within the provisions of the vehicle's warranty.

Owner Action

If you own a 2024-2025 Jeep Compass or Renegade and experience a "noise in the front right part in the engine area during parking maneuvers when changing gear from R to D, as well as when reversing from D to R," you should contact your authorized Jeep dealership.
