6 recalls across 9 model years
The Jeep Patriot has 6 recalls covering 2008 through 2016, with the most serious being a power steering hose clamp issue on certain 2015 models where the low-pressure return hose can detach, spill fluid, and start a fire while also making the steering noticeably heavier to turn.
On 2010-2014 models, the occupant restraint control module can short-circuit and disable the front airbags, side airbags, and seatbelt pretensioners all at once, leaving occupants without crash protection in a collision. On 2016 models, the crankshaft or camshaft sensor can work intermittently, causing the engine to stall unexpectedly while driving. Some 2011 vehicles were equipped with Kidde fire extinguishers that can fail to discharge properly when needed. The 2008 model year has a compliance recall for missing bilingual airbag warning labels on the visor.
