NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
The adaptive cruise, automatic emergency braking, and forward collision warning turns off randomly and the warning lights come on saying they are not working and to take it to the dealership. This has happened around 8 to 10 times. The first being under 1000 miles.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Jeep 08-154-26 a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the 08-154-26 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does 08-154-26 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 1 model year: 2025 Jeep Compass. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
