What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 4 model years this bulletin names have filed 323 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 77 of them name Engine, Power Train — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
My 23 Jeep Compass engine light came on and it started running rough. Dealer says part of the exhaust valve came off and damaged the piston. Now it needs a new motor. I just purchased it in April 2023. It is now 12/12/23 and I took it to the dealer 11/11/23. This potentially could have happened while I was driving.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Jeep 0825523 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 0825523 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 0825523 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 6 model years: 2023 Jeep Compass, 2022 Jeep Compass, 2023 Jeep Renegade, 2022 Jeep Renegade, 2022 Jeep Commander, 2023 Jeep Commander. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
