2017 Jeep Compass
A component is listed below if NHTSA records a vehicle recall campaign, a manufacturer warranty extension or service campaign, or at least 10 distinct consumer complaints.
Recall campaigns
NHTSA lists these campaigns as covering certain 2017 Jeep Compass vehicles. One campaign can list several components, so adding these counts is not a way to total the campaigns — 4 vehicle campaigns are on record for this model-year.
- Electrical System1 campaign86 distinct complaints
55 carried a usable odometer reading; the middle 50% of those readings fell between 9,440 and 37,000 miles.
- Power Train1 campaign42 distinct complaints
35 carried a usable odometer reading; the middle 50% of those readings fell between 20,000 and 63,000 miles.
- Equipment2 campaignsno complaint count above OAV’s minimum of 10
Federal law requires the manufacturer to remedy a safety recall at no cost to the owner — by repair, replacement or refund — for vehicles not more than 15 years old on the date the defect was determined.
Parts are sometimes on back-order and some remedies are interim, so a dealer may not be able to complete the work immediately. A specific vehicle’s current recall status is available through NHTSA’s VIN recall lookup.

OAV lists only communications filed as warranty extensions or service campaigns. Jeep filed 259 other service communications for this model year; those are not listed.
These federal records are not an input to OAV’s price verdict.
These records describe the 2017 model-year, not any individual vehicle, and are not an inspection. One complaint can be recorded against more than one component, so counts do not sum to the model-year total. Service records for any component listed here are worth requesting from the seller.
Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA. Mileage is self-reported and frequently rounded. Complaint records as of 2026-09-28. Recall records as of 2026-09-28. Manufacturer communications as of 2026-09-28.
