Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) India has issued a recall for 1,200 Jeep Compass for replacement of the front passenger airbag.
A supplier to FCA has expressed concern that during its airbag module assembly process, loose fasteners may have inadvertently found their way undetected into a small number of modules. The total number of Compass SUVs affected is expected to be one percent of the total number of vehicles recalled.
In the event of an impact that causes the front passenger airbag to deploy, loose fasteners may pose a hazard. Thus, FCA India will replace the passenger airbag on an estimated 1,200 Jeep Compass SUVs to eliminate this concern.
In the coming week, FCA India and their authorized Dealers will directly contact customers whose Jeep Compass SUVs require a front passenger air bag replacement, and confirm appointments at authorized workshops. This replacement exercise will be carried out at no cost to customers.
