2007 Jeep Compass recalls

Vehicle speed control: accelerator pedal

NHTSA campaign 10V234000 · reported June 3, 2010 · CHRYSLER GROUP LLC · 24,825 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2007 dodge caliber and jeep compass passenger vehicles manufactured from march 7 through may 19, 2006. The pivot bushings in vehicles with oversized accelerator pedal bearing pockets may become dislodged and potentially cause the accelerator pedal to bind or stick.
The risk
Should the pedal bind or become stuck, it can be overcome by smart brakes which override the accelerator pedal in certain conditions.
The fix
Chrysler will notify owners and dealers will inspect and replace all affected accelerator pedal assemblies free of charge. The safety recall began on june 29, 2010. Owners may contact chrysler toll-free at 1-800-853-1403.

NHTSA campaign 06V493000 · reported December 29, 2006 · DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION · 50,665 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
On certain vehicles, the antilock brake system (ABS) control module software may cause the rear brakes to lock up during certain braking conditions.
The risk
This could result in a loss of vehicle control and cause a crash without warning.
The fix
Dealers will reprogram the ABS electronic control unit. The recall began on february 19, 2007. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

The risk

The fix
Daimlerchrysler will mail an addendum to the owner's manual to all affected vehicle owners. The recall began on november 14, 2006. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.
