Risk of fire with Jeep Renegade and Compass Models

Jeep is recalling 3,615 Renegade and Compass vehicles manufactured between 2020 and 2024 to authorized workshops worldwide. The reason for the recall is that incorrect tightening torque on the connections of the 12V battery charging cable can cause the vehicle to not start, come to a standstill during operation, or, in the worst case, cause a vehicle fire.

In an authorized workshop, the connection of the 12V battery charging cable will be checked and replaced if necessary.

The Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) monitors the recall under the reference number “14120R“. The internal manufacturer code is “74B“.

If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
