Jeep Patriot Recalls

The Jeep Patriot has 6 recalls spanning the 2008–2016 production run, with the most serious being a power steering fluid leak on certain 2015 models where a mispositioned hose clamp can allow the low-pressure return hose to detach, spilling fluid and raising the risk of an engine compartment fire.

The other significant safety concern affects 2010–2014 models: the occupant restraint control module can short-circuit and disable the front airbags, side airbags, and seatbelt pretensioners simultaneously, leaving occupants without crash protection in a collision that would normally trigger deployment. On 2016 models, a crankshaft or camshaft sensor can work intermittently, causing the engine to stall without warning while driving. The 2011 model year has a separate equipment recall covering an optional fire extinguisher whose handle design can prevent it from discharging properly. The 2008 model year has a compliance recall for missing bilingual airbag warning labels on the sun visor.
