Speed control
Sticking or binding accelerator pedals
The defect: 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 remedy: 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.

Brakes
ABS control module
The defect: 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 remedy: Dealers will reprogram the ABS electronic control unit. The recall began on february 19, 2007. Owners may contact daimlerchrysler at 1-800-853-1403.

Equipment
Owner's manual/rollover risk addendum
The defect: On certain sport utility vehicles, the owner's manual does not contain the required higher rollover risk warning information.
The risk: Without the rollover warning information in the owner's manual, drivers may not be aware of the significantly higher rollover rate on this type vehicle, which could result in a crash.
The remedy: 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.
Check by VIN
A campaign rarely covers every Compass built in 2007. Enter your 17-character VIN to find the recall campaigns filed for your make, model and model year. The VIN is on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the door-jamb label, and on your registration and insurance documents.
Is a recall still open on your vehicle? Only NHTSA’s official VIN check can say whether a campaign applies to your exact vehicle and whether the repair has already been done.
Your VIN is decoded with NHTSA’s public vPIC service to identify the make, model and year. It is not stored and is not added to any page address.
What 2007 Jeep Compass owners should do
- Check your VIN on NHTSA’s lookup to see which of these campaigns apply to your vehicle and whether any are still open.
- Call a Jeep dealer and book the repair, quoting the campaign numbers (10V-234, 06V-493, 06V-434).
- If you have bought the vehicle used, the recall still applies: the repair is free whoever owns the vehicle now.
- Make sure your current address is on file with the manufacturer so the owner letters reach you.
