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“.
