Jeep bulletin 08-251-24 REV. A

What it says"Noise From Steering Wheel While Turning Customers may comment on the following: Noise when turning the steering wheel. NHTSA’s full summary ↓

Jeep filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Dec 13, 2024, received Dec 17, 2024, about the steering — 2 documents under this number: 08-251-24 and 1 more. It names 6 model years (2023–2025). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

Read by machine from the document NHTSA serves (2 pages), read Sep 30, 2026. A part number is shown only where it matches Jeep’s own catalogue shape, an operation only with its code and time, and a description only where the reader got it whole; anything it could not settle is left out, and the PDF is the record. Times are the manufacturer’s warranty allowances, not a quote. Listings and prices on eBay Motors are the seller’s.

Affiliate disclosure: some links on this page are affiliate links. If you request a quote or buy through them we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Nothing on this page changes because of it.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

The contact owns a 2023 Jeep Renegade. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel failed to function as intended. The contact stated while driving at undisclosed speeds, the steering wheel was pulling to the right. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for an alignment.

A complaint is one owner’s account, not a defect finding, and a bulletin is not a recall. Nothing here says this bulletin was issued because of these complaints, or that the repair it describes fixed them. Complaint files on this site begin in 2015.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5

Is Jeep 08-251-24 REV. A 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 08-251-24 REV. A 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. Every Stellantis warranty extension on file lists the ones Stellantis has filed.

Which vehicles does 08-251-24 REV. A cover?

The manufacturer filed it against 6 model years: 2025 Jeep Compass, 2024 Jeep Compass, 2023 Jeep Compass, 2023 Jeep Renegade, 2024 Jeep Renegade, 2025 Jeep Renegade. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
