2011 JEEP COMPASS Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2011 Jeep Compass has 3 recalls, all centered on the same serious concern: the airbags and seatbelt pretensioners may not deploy in a crash, leaving occupants without the protection those systems are designed to provide. Two of the three recalls involve the restraint system. In one, the occupant restraint control module can short circuit, disabling the front and side airbags and the seatbelt pretensioners entirely. In the other, a software error can cause the side curtain airbags and seatbelt pretensioners to deploy late or not at all during a rollover. The third recall involves the steering column, where a missing or incorrectly installed pivot rivet can cause the column to behave unpredictably in a crash rather than collapsing as intended to protect the driver.
