Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2015 Jeep Compass and Patriot vehicles manufactured January 1, 2015, to May 11, 2015. During assembly, the power steering hose retention clamp may have been installed at an incorrect location, resulting in the detachment of the low pressure return hose.
While driving the passenger seat head rest blew open. No one was sitting in the seat and there was no accident.

Power steering hose kept leaking repeatedly. Got checked by couple of local mechanics. But the issue kept reoccurring. The leaked fluid has damaged the serpentine belt and the belt tensioner. I had to get them both replaced. The issue still keeps reoccurring.
