2025 Jeep Compass Pulls While Driving TSB 02-005-25

Owners of the 2025 Jeep Compass may experience their vehicle pulling to one side while driving. This condition, often described as an "Alignment out of specification," indicates an issue with the vehicle's front suspension. Stellantis has released Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 02-005-25, also known as Rapid Service Update (RSU) 25-176, to address this specific concern for affected vehicles.

This bulletin applies to 2025 Jeep Compass models (MP) built on or after July 18, 2025 (MDH 0718XX), specifically for the North American market. The primary cause for the Jeep Compass pulling while driving symptom is identified as the vehicle's alignment being out of specification.

Symptoms

If your 2025 Jeep Compass is affected by this issue, you may notice the following symptoms:

• "Vehicle pulls while driving"
• General sensation of the vehicle's "Alignment out of specification"

These symptoms suggest that the vehicle's wheels are not correctly aligned, leading to an uneven pull on the steering.

Diagnosis

To diagnose the Jeep Compass pulling while driving condition, technicians will first verify if the customer's vehicle is included in the Rapid Service Update (RSU) VIN list. This can be checked using VIP or by performing a VIN search in DealerCONNECT/Service Library. If the VIN is on the list, the next step involves a test drive to confirm the vehicle exhibits the pulling symptom.

If a vehicle is not on the RSU VIN list but still presents the symptoms mentioned, the repair procedure outlined in the bulletin should still be followed. The diagnostic process focuses on confirming the presence of the pulling condition during a test drive before proceeding with any repair actions.

Repair Procedure Summary

The repair for a 2025 Jeep Compass pulling while driving involves a multi-step process, beginning with verification and culminating in a wheel alignment if necessary. The steps are as follows:

1. VIN Verification: Confirm if the vehicle's VIN is listed in the RSU VIN list. If it is, proceed to a test drive. If not, but the symptom is present, still proceed to the test drive. All applicable RSU VINs have been pre-loaded for convenience.
2. Test Drive: Conduct a test drive to confirm the presence of the "Vehicle pulls while driving" symptom. This step is crucial to ensure the issue is active and requires attention.
3. Symptom Confirmation: If the vehicle is confirmed to be pulling while driving during the test drive, the technician will proceed to perform a wheel alignment. If no pulling is observed, the bulletin's inspection is considered complete, and the active RSU is closed using Labor Operation 02-00-01-AE.
4. Wheel Alignment: If the pulling condition is confirmed, a wheel alignment will be performed. Detailed service procedures for this are available in DealerCONNECT/Service Library under "Service Info > 02 - Front Suspension / Wheel Alignment / Standard Procedure."
